Hi, I'm Lisandro

Some classes I've taken:

CoCompose - Collaborative Music Composing - Worked with a team of three other people to create this web app as a final project. Allows users to collaboratively edit music together in real-time using an alternative UI for composing.

• Used Node.js and MongoDB for backend
• Frontend implemented using a mix of Express/Handlebars for templating and HTML Canvas for the composing UI.
• Responsible for implementation of real-time collaboration logic (using Socket.io) and front-end composer UI
• Won the "Most Innovative" award

MIT Interactive Robotics Group - Worked with the Optimus mobile robotics patform using Python.

• Worked with ROS and LCM to facilitate communication between systems
• Extended MIT DARPA Robotics software with additional visualization tools using VTK
• Created teleop GUI using Qt

MITConnect - A system proposal for optimizing network usage at MIT. Created with Advaith Anand and Jared Counts for our 6.033 final.

Pynado - Command line script to assist with downloading torrents with Coinado.

21W.789 - Passel Android App - Worked with a team of three other people to design, prototype, and test a mobile Android app, focused on location sharing.

• Conducted field studies to determine user needs, as well as UI tests with potential users
• Implemented client-side app with the Android SDK
• Implemented backend with Python Flask framework

MIT Autonomous Robotics Competition - Worked with a team of four other people as software and electrical lead to design and build an autonomous robot over the course of a month. Competed against teams of other MIT students.

• Designed software for autonomous robot using C++ and OpenCV on the Intel Edison platform
• Designed electronics stack and circuitry used by robot
• Worked with multiple communication protocols including I2C and SPI.

MIT Space Systems Lab - SPHERES Arm Team - Worked with two other people to develop a testbed for experimenting with robotic arms on satellites. Worked with SPHERES satellites. Watch a video of it in action here. Read our report here.

• Wrote an arm-satellite system simulation in C++ to predict and visualize system dynamics
• Overhauled existing motor controller code
• Wrote C++ program to allow communication between SPHERES and Halo (running Linux) and arm
• Designed PCB to allow communication between USB and RS485
• Wrote Matlab program to visualize telemetry data from satellite experiments
• Designed mission patch for current lab project
• Created SolidWorks model of satellite shell to be used as promotional material for an upcoming major film

Mimicking Robotic Hand - Worked with two other people during a hackathon to build a glove-controlled robotic hand, where the robotic hand would follow what the glove-wearer was doing. Watch a video of it in action here. Click on the title for more details.

• Designed, built, and tested the circuit used in the project
• Wrote the Arduino code that took in analog input and mapped it to the required servo output
• Worked with team members to design and build both the glove and the hand mechanisms

Music - Throughout high school, I played around with FL Studio and Ableton Live 8. Here is a link to my SoundCloud for some samples.
