PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Product Engineering Intern
06/2010
Present
Microchip Technologies, Inc, Chandler, AZ
Collect and analyze data from a wide variety of product lines including temp sensors, op amps,
CAN parts, and power meters
Prepare and format data for presentation in customer data sheets and reports
Perform open-ended, creative work such as developing test routines and soldering board
components
Undergraduate Research Associate
05/2008
08/2008
Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ
Designed and developed an electrical short circuit current limiter to measure the current and
limit that current by fast switching (FCL)
FCL was modeled by utilizing GTOs to insert a resistive impedance in and out of the protected
line
Built and tested a small scale prototype

Staples, Mesa, AZ
Managed and trained 8 Easy Tech associates
Consulted with customers on all types of computer related issues
Troubleshot and repaired desktop and laptop computers
Worked with retail customers in assessing new computer requirements and specifications
THESIS RESEARCH
Development of Optical Current Transformers
John Smith Lab, ASU, Tempe, AZ
08/2011
Present
Develop SolidWorks 3D models of optical current transformers (OCT)
Create a prototype OCT to provide an advanced measurement solution for metering and
protection applications
Prototype has unlimited dynamic range and prevents from explosive failure modes or open
secondary situations
