SELECTED PROJECTS

PROJECT IMAGE

ELECTROIMPACT

TrackerCommander Backend

C# EF6 / SQLite Leica SDK Linear Algebra

The Problem: Automation relied on a proprietary tool (SpatialAnalyzer) that required expensive recurring licenses for every shipped product.

The Solution: Engineered TrackerCommander as a high-performance C# replacement engine. Implemented hardware control via Leica APIs and Best Fit via SVD for sub-millimeter multi-tracker localization.

Impact: Eliminated third-party licensing costs and reduced technical debt. The modular architecture is now production-ready for bespoke automation.

ELECTROIMPACT

Boeing 787 Mid-Body Join Automation

Metrology Integration On-Site QA Embedded Debugging

The Challenge: Executing and validating the complex automated join sequence for the Boeing 787 fuselage at the Charleston assembly plant.

The Solution: Served as a technical liaison on-site, debugging OperationCommander join logic and performing rigorous metrology validation across mechanical and software teams.

Impact: Ensured the automation workflow met Boeing's strict tolerances, supporting successful production deployment.
