SOFTWARE & AVIONICS ENGINEER
Keven
Guzman
Senior Computer Science student at Rowan University with hands-on experience in web development, software engineering, and avionics systems for high-powered rocketry.
ABOUT
Building at the intersection of code & hardware
I'm a Computer Science student at Rowan University with a Minor in Mathematics and a concentration in Cyber Security Defense. My journey spans from web development with modern frameworks like React.js and Next.js to designing RF antennas and telemetry systems for high-powered rockets.
Recently, I completed an internship at Northeast Precast, where I developed a full-stack application using C#, Blazor, and .NET 9, along with a YOLO-based machine learning model to automate technical drawing analysis. I've also contributed to JobPiloting, integrating AI-driven features into their platform.
As an Avionics Engineer with Rowan Rocketry, I design and test RF antennas for telemetry transmission, working with RTL-SDR and TeleMega flight computers to capture live flight data.

EXPERIENCE
Where I've worked
Software Engineering Intern
Northeast Precast
- Developed a full-stack web application using C#, Blazor, and .NET 9 to automate extraction and processing of engineering shop-ticket PDFs
- Designed and trained a YOLO-based model to detect section and form views in technical drawings
- Implemented backend services for PDF parsing, view-specific data extraction, and data persistence using SQLite
- Built annotated datasets using CVAT, improving detection accuracy and reliability
Software Engineer
JobPiloting
- Collaborated with the team to conceptualize and develop innovative website design ideas, enhancing user engagement and brand identity
- Played a key role in integrating an AI-driven Minimum Viable Product (MVP) into the company's platform
- Contributed to front-end and back-end development efforts, leveraging modern tools and frameworks to optimize performance
PROJECTS
Things I've built
Rowan Rocketry Website
Full Stack Development
Designed and developed a fully functional website from scratch, handling both front-end and back-end implementation to showcase Rowan Rocketry's mission and achievements. Utilized Next.js, React.js, Tailwind CSS, and Express.js with MySQL backend.
Rowan Rocketry Avionics
Avionics & Telemetry Engineer
Designed and fabricated a custom antenna mount for the avionics sled bay, ensuring secure GPS and telemetry signal transmission during high-powered rocket flights. Engineered, tested, and integrated RF antennas for telemetry systems. Worked with RTL-SDR, Angel, and TeleMega flight computers to capture and decode live flight data, conducting range testing and real-time signal strength evaluations.
Northeast Precast PDF Automation
Machine Learning Application
Full-stack web application using C#, Blazor, and .NET 9 to automate extraction and processing of engineering shop-ticket PDFs. Trained YOLO-based model to detect section and form views in technical drawings.
Philadelphia Pointing Span Test (PPST)
Neurocognitive Assessment Application
The Philadelphia Pointing Span Test (PPST) is a digital, tablet-based neurocognitive assessment used to evaluate working memory and executive function. It measures an individual's ability to recall sequences of spatial locations, providing insight into serial order processing, attention control, and response latency. PPST serves as a screening tool for identifying potential neurocognitive impairments, with performance linked to broader executive functioning. Emerging research also suggests correlations between PPST outcomes and cardiovascular health, highlighting its value in both clinical and research settings.
JobPiloting AI Platform
AI-Driven MVP Integration
Contributed to front-end and back-end development of an AI-driven MVP platform, enhancing user engagement and functionality for a job-focused startup.
