Strengths

I have developed many skills through my coursework, co-op experiences, and participation in the Hyperloop team:

Digital hardware design
- VHDL development at L3 and for Hyperloop UC
- Verilog used in Digital Design class
- Use of Synplify, Vivado, and Quartus
Revision control
- Git - Northrop Grumman, Hyperloop, and classroom
- SVN - L3
Python
- Automated testing framework at L3
- Data truthing tool at L3
- Python class at UC
C++
- Hyperloop codebase
- Image processing group at L3
- C++ class at UC
Virtual/Augmented Reality Development
- Unity 3D and C#
- Microsoft HoloLens

Upon taking the Gallup StrengthQuest survey, I have been able to identify some of my key strengths and how they help me:

Learner
- Learning fast on the job
  - VHDL at L3
  - Unity 3D and C# at Northrop Grumman
- Desire to learn drives me to understand the world
Competition
- Driven to be the best at anything I do
- I do not stop at the bare minimum
  - Always looking for ways to improve myself and what I work on
Analytical
