KARDA is an AI-driven company revolutionizing documentation processes. Leveraging my background in chemical engineering and business, I teamed up with Stanford-educated experts—Kevin Guo (AI and Machine Learning), Daniel Garcia (Network Security), and Ruben Sanchez (Systems)—to tackle the inefficiencies of manual documentation.We address the critical issue of extensive police documentation time by using AI to process body camera footage into detailed, unbiased reports, enhancing efficiency and compliance.KARDA has garnered significant interest across the US, highlighting our potential to improve officer retention by reducing administrative burdens.Connect with me to explore how KARDA can transform your documentation processes.

Working on finding biomarkers indicative of underlying disease through a non-invasive test; leading clinical trials in partnership with Sutter Health; developing a comprehensive medical readout; testing software; analyzing data; SaaSAlso took on an operational role where I managed the company’s payroll, HR, and finances. I also led merger discussions and compiled all pertinent information. In short, I had a multifaceted role that included responsibilities ranging from drafting financial projections to negotiating contracts to making business critical decisions.

I work in Professor Thomas Jaramillo Chemical Engineering lab, where I research optimization of catalysts in basic and acidic conditions. The goal is to attain a large catalyst activity with a non-precious metal.

Dr. John Cunniff, Dr. John Lock, Dr. K.M. Larson are researching how to detect cancer cells through the breath. Diagnose Early is a ground up company whose purpose is to develop a screening tool that effectively works similar to a breathalyzer, but instead of analyzing BAC, we analyze the cells ejected.

• Primarily contributed to the ground-up development and operation of a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell efficiency measurement system, including implementing critical mechanical, thermal, and procedural advances to the system to improve overall accuracy of results and safety of operation.• This system achieved a world-record 30% TPV efficiency measurement.• Assisted on projects related to heat flux sensing, market analysis of thermal energy storage, TPV cell stack design, carbon sublimation modeling, and ARC optimization.

I worked with Professor Richard Zare and Dr. Amanda Nelson doing research in Michealis Menten kinetics through the fermentation of yeast. We optimized ethanol production and recreated the M-M curve
