Hey! My name is William Heuer and I am an Electrical Engineering graduate student at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota with a focus on embedded systems and hardware design. I have recently completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering from St. Thomas where I graduated Summa Cum Laude. Apart of my degree was a final senior design project in which I had the oppurtunity to work with Emerson Rosemount on a Low Power Energy Harvesting Display for their industrial field indicators. As part of my graduate degree I am also a fellow in St. Thomas' new "New Product Tech Ventures (NPTV) Fellowship" program which you can learn more about here.

For the past two summers I have been an Embedded Software Engineering intern for The Toro Company working on their up and coming automated residential lawn mower called the Haven mower. Most of my work at Toro centered around the low level control of the mower with a focus on improving filesystem and USB performance as well as internal tooling involving build systems and RTOS abstraction layers. I have quite enjoyed my time at the Toro Company and learned invaluable skills related to the embedded field.

I have also dabbled in various personal projects such as a personal smartwatch, a portable game console, an LED Cube, a LED Dodecahedron, and more. Most of my side projects are listed on this site for my personal recollection and display, see here.

Through till my Junior year at St. Thomas I worked as a visual storyteller for the company Pivot Interactives (merged with Discovery Education in 2022), an online science education platform designed to help students learn through real-world phenomena. There I developed and produced videos of various science experiments and helped integrate these videos onto the Pivot Interactives website. You can check them out here.
