Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcel Merchat is a seasoned software engineering mentor and engineer with over a decade of experience blending data science, RF communications, and automated test systems. He mentors Java students in Duke’s Coursera Software Engineering Specialization while maintaining a portfolio of projects—including an interactive HR/resume database website and an RF impedance transformer design tool—demonstrating both teaching and practical engineering chops. His background spans hands-on radio work since 1997, machine-learning models for power reliability and cancer diagnosis probability, and production tooling that automates design calculations, data analysis, and report generation. At Motorola and other firms he built LabVIEW, R, C++, and VBA solutions to parse test memory, run statistical analyses, and control lab hardware, showing a rare mix of firmware-level testing, signal-chain RF design, and data-product development. Marcel holds an MSEE and multiple certificates in communication systems, web development, and data science, and he often translates complex RF and statistical problems into accessible dashboards and automated workflows.
