ABOUT ME

[###]

AHOY! WELCOME TO MY DIGITAL VESSEL!

Hi, I'm Adam. I'm studying Computer Science at Georgia Tech, specializing in Information Internetworks and Artificial Intelligence.

I'm passionate about machine learning, computer vision, and software engineering. In particular, I'm interested in creating intelligent systems and applying them to real world problems.

Some of my hobbies: sailing, fencing, reading, running, and soccer.

VOYAGE EXPERIENCE

[###]

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INTERN

CATERPILLAR, INC. | PEORIA, IL
MAY 2025 - AUG 2025

Developed a React-based map dashboard in Cat Central to generate heatmaps from machine GPS (latitude/longitude) data, analyzing spatial patterns to optimize site layout, reduce congestion, and monitor machine idle-time, integrating real-time telemetry and secure machine communication for data-driven site optimization..

Developed RESTful API specifications and proxies using Swagger and Apigee, integrating JSON threat limiting, threat protection, rate limiting, and injection prevention policies for large data applications & real-time asset monitoring.

Built an AI-assisted CI/CD pipeline (Python, GitHub Actions, Azure Foundry) with a custom OpenAPI linter and automated proxy validation, reducing spec review time by ~30% and enforcing standards across engineering teams.

Selected from 70+ interns as winner of Caterpillar U.S. Hackathon to represent Cat USA at Global Hackathon.

WIRELESS FENCING SYSTEM

Real-time wireless scoring system for fencing competitions
C++ • ARDUINO • HARDWARE
C++, CIRCUIT THEORY, CAD, ARDUINO, SYSTEM DESIGN

Planned, designed, and coded a wireless scoring system for ĂŠpĂŠe fencers to use in place of expensive wired ones at my fencing club.

Utilized Arduino nanos, voltage setup converter, and REED relays to improve system latency from 1-2 seconds to <1ms.

Saved my local fencing club $3,000 in equipment costs and was used by over 50 fencers to conduct fencing drills.
