Experience

Motivo Engineering
2018 - 2019

Junior Electrical Engineer

Motivo Engineering is a small engineering firm in Gardena, California that does contract work in three main fields: Mobility and Energy, Agricultural Technology, and Aerospace. In my time at Motivo, I have worked on a multitude of projects in the Autonomous Vehicle, Agricultural, and Consumer Electronic industries. My major projects include a Class 4 autonomous vehicle, where I developed code for the Low Level Controllers that featured full triple redundancy of the vehicle, an autonomous delivery vehicle, where I developed the firmware behind the cargo system that featured full control over ten actuators with active collision avoidance, and an AI powered computer vision system that autonomously cultivates crops in fields.

FRC Team 4201
2018 - 2019

Mentor, Drive Coach

Team 4201, The Vitruvian Bots, is a FIRST Robotics team based out of El Segundo, California. During my time on the team, I mentored students in the strategy, mechanical design, and controls aspects of the robot. I aided the students to complete the 2019 challenge, FIRST Deep Space, in a compressed 6 week timeline. This was the first year the team finished multiple iterations of prototypes throughout the build season, which led to the team's most sucessful year, where we finished as the 2019 FRC World Champions.

FRC Team 687
2014 - 2019

Mentor, Former Team Captain

Team 687, The Nerd Herd, is a FIRST Robotics team based out of Carson, California. As Team Captain, I led the team every year in designing, building, and programming a fully functional 150-pound robot in six weeks. The robots range in size and shape, from a fourteen-inch tall ball shooter to a seven foot block stacker (it's cooler than I can make it sound) Now, as a mentor, I guide the students through the engineeirng design process.

Boeing
2017 Summer

Phantom Works Intern

Over the 2017 summer, I interned in the Phantom Works department at Boeing. I applied the skills and tools of Program Management to write a proposal document for a new program and pitched it to the site executive. I also worked alongside and learned from mechanical, systems, software, and quality engineers to create a technically sound proposal. In addition, I was invited to sit into weekly staff meetings with project managers to help evaluate the potential risks and opportunities each project in the department was facing.

2017 - 2018

Project Manager

CAMS Engineering Design and Development is the capstone program for the CAMS Engineering pathway. As Project Manager of Byte Technologies, I led the company that acted as the software contractor for two student engineering firms. Throughout the year, I headed a team of programmers to build a framework for twelve-robot suite that demonstrated swarm technology. The suite featured three autonomous aerial robots and nine autonomous ground-based robots that acted without a main leader, with all major decisions and task assignment distributed between the robots.

CAMS Computer Science Club
2014 - 2018

President

CAMS Computer Science Club (CAMSCSC) is a group of high school students passionate about the power of computers in the modern day. As club president, I taught and prepared the club for multiple computer science competitions, including picoCTF and NYU Poly's CSAW HSF. In addition, we host our own annual international computer science competition, CCTF, empowering over 2000 participants in 12 countries to practice their ethical hacking skills.

CAMS Computer Science Enrichment
2015 - 2018

President

CAMS Computer Science Enrichment is a computer science summer camp for middle school students. Students learn the basic principles behind programming, forensics, exploitation, and cryptography and apply it to computer science challenge. As President of CAMS Computer Science Club (the club that runs the camp), I led the development of the lesson plan, challenges, and platform and the efforts to reach out to participants and sponsors.

CAMS Key Club
2014 - 2017

Treasurer

CAMS Key Club is a service club that promotes student leadership and cooperation. During my time in Key Club, I hosted and participated in weekly community service events, gathering over 400 service hours. In addition, I also led efforts to fundraise for charitable causes, including Unicef's ELIMINATE project and CNH Key Club's PTP. During my year as treasurer, the club fundraised and donated over $4000.
