%
% Usage: \section{section name}
%
% Follow this section IMMEDIATELY with the first line of the section
% text. Do not put whitespace in between. That is, do this:

%       Here is my information.
%
% and NOT this:
%
%       \section{My Information}
%
%       Here is my information.
%
% Otherwise the top of the section header will not line up with the top
% of the section. Of course, using a single comment character (%) on
% empty lines allows for the function of the first example with the
% readability of the second example.

\hfill \textbf{Aug 2015 - }\textbf{present} \\
\textit{Graduate Research Assistant}%
\begin{outerlist}
\item Designed and built a small aerial manipulator for use in indoor environments. Conceptualized and developed the aerial quadrotor platform used in multiple research projects throughout the lab. Designed and prototyped a two-link serial manipulator, with a unique cable actuation system, to be used in aerial manipulation applications. Modeled and simulated the dynamics of both the quadrotor, manipulator, and their coupling using MATLAB and Simulink. Developed a novel control augmentation scheme to stabilize the aerial manipulator in the presence of disturbance and unknown payloads. Implemented control algorithms, using C, on the Crazyflie flight controller. A full outline of this project, and its results, can be found in my master's thesis.
\item Consistently involved in development of robotic hardware for various ongoing projects in the lab.

\section{Technical Summary}
I have strong experience with classical control theory as well as various methods of vehicle motion planning, in both simulation and implementation, using tools like \textbf{MATLAB} and \textbf{Simulink}, \textbf{C}/\textbf{\CPP}, Python, ROS, GDB, and Git/Github. 

%Working at NASA Ames, I gained more experience with embedded system programming where I developed the platform and onboard controller for an aerial two-link manipulator.

%I am adept at writing \textbf{C}/\textbf{\CPP} software for embedded systems, \textbf{Python} for rapid prototyping and high-level decision making, \textbf{ROS} packages for communication services, and \textbf{MATLAB} and \textbf{Simulink} models for analysis and design. I have primarily developed software for ARM-based processors running Linux/FreeRTOS environments.
