Lockheed Martin - Software Development Internship
12-week paid internship
Wrote approximately 1,000 lines of code in C++, Python, and Bash. Developed ROS nodes, onboard software, and simulation/control software for autonomous robots as part of a $10.6 million contract. Developed log file and script management and control scripts in Python for project. Assisted in calibration and sensor analysis for robots and associated equipment. Additionally, participated in machine learning research on Convolutional Neural Network software and worked to implement activation mapping for existing CNNs.

NASA LANGLEY - SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT INTERNSHIP
10-week paid internship (2 years)
During two summer internships, developed software through entire life cycle (analysis, design, implementation, testing and integration, and maintenance) in MATLAB and C programming languages to perform testing and validation on real-world sensor system (RBI). Wrote and tested over 4,000 lines of documented code. Applied JavaScript to analyze and display resulting data. Used MS Office to present outcomes of work and results of studies to Directorate. RBI budget is $200 million and is scheduled for launch in 2021.
