About
Project lead who restored a 1999 vintage museum robotics exhibit by inventorying and integrating legacy systems, reverse engineering original behavior, and reimplementing it in a modern codebase. Notably optimized Tesseract OCR and machine-vision pipelines to run on a 400MHz Pentium III with 256MB RAM while bringing up and tuning degraded FireWire IIDC cameras using scarce legacy documentation.

Key Strengths
- Led end-to-end restoration of a vintage (1999) robotics/museum exhibit, including full system inventory and reimplementation in a modern codebase
- Optimized modern OCR (Tesseract) to run on highly constrained legacy hardware (400MHz Pentium III, 256MB RAM)
- Deep low-level embedded expertise (C/C++, register-level programming, FreeRTOS, hard real-time state machines)
- Strong legacy hardware bring-up and troubleshooting (FireWire IIDC cameras; sourced/used old documentation and forums)
- Performance-focused image processing optimization (rotation/mirroring via reverse buffer reads to speed stitching/processing)
- Effective stakeholder coordination (weekly syncs with lab director; consulted coworkers, industry mentors, and original exhibit engineer)
