Aaron Backstrom

Organized and motivated computer engineering student at Georgia Piedmont Technical College with hands-on experience in coding and problem-solving. Proficient in using Arduino and breadboard for various projects, demonstrating strong troubleshooting skills. Seeking an entry-level role or internship to further develop technical abilities. Flexible availability for part-time employment, including weekends and evenings.

Using the Arduino software and logic gate chips, we tested and approved AND, OR, NOT, BUFFER, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR gates. Afterwards we connected LEDs to the breadboard to automatically show the results of the truth table. Connected a Potentiometer to a breadboard and programmed on Arduino IDE to display in text, the analog value and voltage readings on the monitor. Built a circuit on the breadboard with switches on Arduino. Then programmed each light to flash to the correct corresponding switch when it’s ON.
