• Guaranteed automated exhaust ventilation activates prior to Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) thresholds by mapping 4-20mA analog outputs from infrared gas sensors to facility control relays.
• Supported communication upgrades for facility control systems by evaluating competing industrial Ethernet switch platforms and resolving complex integration tradeoffs.
• Maintained ring redundancy while preserving a 4-port fiber output capacity by calculating exact port density and topology requirements.
• Prevented hardware compatibility issues by identifying proprietary SFP transceiver validation risks and specifying compliant single-mode fiber standards.
• Confirmed proper mechanical to electrical handoff in high-humidity environments by tracing active air sampling paths and verifying signal interpretation between physical equipment and facility control logic.

• Configured and deployed routers, modems, and switches for residential and commercial clients, optimizing DNS settings and routing to reduce packet loss to <1% and ensure consistent connectivity.
• Engineered static IP setups and firewall rules, reducing unauthorized access incidents by 20% and maximizing network uptime.
• Validated physical layer integrity by calibrating and testing fiber-optic signal strength using optical power meters, ensuring link performance met ISP standards.
• Diagnosed hardware issues and executed remote firmware updates on customer-premises equipment (CPE), decreasing average downtime by ~30%.
• Authored and standardized technical SOPs for signal testing procedures in collaboration with senior engineers, reducing team onboarding time and improving QA efficiency.

Led the electronics subsystem for an electric racecar including BSPD design, ECU integration, wiring harness development, and track-side debugging.
