+                    The <b>Satellite Propulsion HMI</b> is an application for executing commands and viewing 
+                    telemetry from the satellitle propulsion firmware developed by <a href="http://accion-systems.com/" target="_blank">Accion Systems</a>. It was the first testing tool
+                    developed for their company and replaced a script-based approach to testing before. The application could read data 
+                    from UART sent by the firmware, parsed it using Python, and displayed in a web-based view running on a local machine.

+                    I worked on this project from January 2018 through June 2018 and continued working on minor improvements as a part-time 
+                    contracter for a few months after.

+                            As a <b>software engineering co-op</b>, I designed, tested, and programmed the user interface and hardware integration for the HMI.

+                            Additionally, I wrote MSP430 microcontroller code in C to support daisy-chained bootloader functionality.
