NASA/Lockheed X-33 Launch Vehicle (1998)
This is the prototype for the new space shuttle to be used by NASA in the 21st century. Developed a custom Field-Programmable-Gatearray (FPGA) using the verilog language for an Advanced Flight Experiment. When commanded, this FPGA reads data from the Advanced Gyro, Accelerometers, and Temperature sensors, then transmits the information back to the flight computer. This project has been transferred to the Air Force.
Local Internet Service Provider Design and Implementation
Developed a network of computers for a state of the art learning lab for a private elementary school called “The ExtraOrdinary Place” located in Los Angeles, Ca. just South of the Downtown area. Also built an advanced Dial-up Server network to allow them to provide Internet Service for the students, parents, and faculty.
Mars Pathfinder Review Board (April 1994)
Served on the technical review board for Mars Pathfinder Rover. This was a two-day technical review board that reviewed the electronics design for the Rover. On July 4, 1997, The Mars Pathfinder Rover called “Sojourner” successfully landed on the surface of Mars.
Cassini Mission to Saturn (1991-1994)
Automatic Websites (EJM Technologies) started out as a one person consulting company that primarily did work for Jet Propulsion Laboratories of Pasadena, Ca. The most notable work includes the creation of a custom operating system for a network of sixteen small computers that is used on the Cassini Spacecraft which was launched on its way to Saturn, October 15, 1997. It arrived at Saturn on July 1, 2004
Mobile Robot Experiment (1990)
This robot was built for a project for Carnegie Mellon University. It is radio-controlled and uses a pulley-based tread design for mobility. It traverses rough terrain, including staircases.
