My Interest
Often I am pondering the intersection of society, mechanics, electronics and computing within infrastructure. Some of what I dabble with is the modeling, simulation and implementation of autonomous systems, construction and investing.
The primary insights I have gained from my education in mechanical engineering and experience as psychiatric nursing assistant, sales intern, electrical estimator and research assistant is that that every project has a process, probability and a bottom line.
With all this in mind, I continue to refine my skills such as identifying the ins and outs of a process as well as adaptability.

Research Timeline
2023 - present
Algorithmic Trading - Project
Using the Robinhood API I’m selecting stocks based on desirable P/B, P/E and market cap to filter 5000 securities to 10-20 securities. Then setting up entry and exit strategies by using indicators such as fractals, Bollinger Bands, MA50 and MA200. Personal Project now still ongoing.

UAV Simulation Platform - Ubelekorp
Using Gazebo, ROS, ROS2, PX4 and Autopilot SITL intended to help students to research, design and develop whatever algorithms they are working on for flying a UAV. Personal project now still ongoing.
2022
Detection/Tracking/Identification of Unkown Aircraft via Radar and YOLO Computer Vision Algorithm - NASA MIRO Center for Aerospace and Exploration
Implementation of slew to cue tracking where radars would track the path of incoming aircraft and send its coordinates to a PTZ camera so that it may point to the target and identify it.
2019
Detection/Tracking of Unkown Aircraft via Software Defined Radio - NASA MIRO Center for Aerospace and Exploration
Managed a group of undergrads to build a doppler direction finding system using some antennas, Kerberos Software Defined Radio, Raspberry Pin and RDF Mapper software. The goal was to have multiple bases placed across the city that would upload bearings to a server making it possible to triangulate the location of a UAV transmitter, then have that UAV transmission interrupted.

Here is some of my work that I've done in various programming languages.
