University of Washington Electrical Engineering

Cary studied electrical engineering at the University of Washington with a focus in power distribution and power generation. Capstone projects like designing a functional Variable Frequency Drive gave Cary concrete experience in hardware and programming. Graduate level classes like Power Systems Economics have helped blend the engineering world with business principles. Cary brings the engineer's eye for detail and think outside the box mindset to business problems on a daily basis.

Capstone Project - Variable Frequency Drive
​

Cary worked on a small team designing a variable frequency drive (VFD) with functionality of being able to speed up or slow down a motor, control ramp up and ramp down times, provide GUI for console control and mechanical controls for local override. This project blended Verilog programming of PLC chips, circuit design and testing, hands on manufacturing of circuit boards,  and real life functionality testing. Common real life applications for this technology can be seen on the majority of medium and large sized commercial and industrial motors.

Classes for diversity of ideas

Whether it was prerequisites, filling a language requirement or just general curiosity, Cary studies a wide variety of subjects to remain open minded and curious. Cary studied abroad in Costa Rica and Brazil as he explored his love of language, cultures and people

Study Abroad - Costa Rica - Study of the coffee trade

​

Costa Rica has always been known for it's rich culture and importance in the coffee trade. Cary researched the coffee trade from plant to cup examining the labor, product, manufacturing process, retailers and social issues around the sourcing of coffee. Unraveling Free-Trade, Fair-Trade and sustainability measures and how they affect the farmers, local economies and end users. The lush forests, perfect surfing beaches, amazing family driven culture, meeting life long friends and chance to practice Spanish made this study abroad trip an unforgettable adventure. 

Study Abroad - Rio de Janiero Brazil - Social and Economic Issues
​

Brazil is an enormous country with landscape and culture varying drastically as you travel from the Amazon river to the Beaches of Rio to the concrete metropolis of Sao Paolo. My studies were mainly focused on the growing economic inequality in Brazil and the disappearance of the middle class. Lack of opportunity for financing leaves employed families without a means of purchasing housing. Home-ownership in Brazil for most comes by self construction, purchasing one brick at at time meaning that many of the residential neighborhoods are partially built in perpetuity. The rich culture of the Cariocas (people from Rio), Samba dance lessons, barbacoa meals with the local familes, and beautiful sunsets in the Santa Teresa neighborhood of Rio made for an amazing trip.
