As an Intern in Prototyping Engineering at the BYU Office of Technology Transfer, I am dedicated to facilitating the transition of University intellectual property and innovative technology into market-ready solutions by leveraging principles of rapid prototyping.-Leading the advancement of patented technology from ideation to MVP stages-Conducting thorough market research to inform decision-making-Collaborating with University students and faculty to leverage research-backed solutions-Developing technical skills in 3D modeling, mechanical engineering principles, software development, and product designNotable Projects:• Smart Agriculture device: Developed software capabilities for a Corn Stalk Integration device that uses a NanoVNA Network Analyzer to test the electrical impedance of a corn stalk. Using a Raspberry Pi, the device is capable of detecting water levels in a corn stalk, calculating the health of the plant, gathering live GPS data, and displaying data points on a satellite map. (Python)• Boil-over-pot: Developed software that enables the user to boil water without the threat of it boiling over. Programmed with ESP32 boards, a device on the pot lid relays temperature data to a device on the stove dial and turns off the stove once the boiling point is reached. (C/C++, JavaScript)• AI Chatbot: Collaborating on software that uses an LLM to aid caregivers of dementia patients by using knowledge graphs, response rankers, sentiment analysis, and NLP to serve as a mental health companion and virtual assistant.(Python, Neo4j)
