Projects
Drillbotics Team 2023-'24
2nd Place in International Drilling Automation Competition
Description
As Co-team Lead for the University of Calgary Drillbotics Team, I helped my team in the development of a new control logic scheme for our drilling rig, working with equipment inherited from previous teams. I coordinated efforts across multiple engineering disciplines to develop and implement a workable solution in time the competition deadline. While my primary focus was on the rig's logic controls, my industrial experience proved valuable in addressing various technical challenges and filling crucial skill gaps within our team. While our approach was not perfect our strong teamwork led to a 2nd place finish in this prestigious international competition.
