Established Perrybotics, a non-profit 501c(3) based in Downey, dedicated to cultivating passion in engineering through competitive robotics. I spearhead its program vision and mission statements, fundraise and manage annually by collaborating with board members, and donors, sponsors. Organize annual budgets, program logistics, promotional material, and finances. I have established three teams, two high school and one university. My teams have achieved five VEX Robotics World Championship appearances, have won three State California Championships, two State Build Awards, and over 12 regional awards.

For over 5 years spearheaded the direction of 742a and 742x from 2019-2023, and team PERRY in 2024. I have end to end designed over 10 mobile robots utilizing 2D geometry to calculate trajectories and structural optimization, creating 3D assemblies of iterative designs on Onshape to generate parts list, and engineering drawings. Annually I created detailed engineering documentation explaining design process from ground up over 200+ pages. I designed novel pneumatic transmission, custom fixtures, gear trains & boxes, metal extrusion & plates, manufactured through additive & subtractive processes. Developed odometry algorithm control systems to achieve automated, repeatable, and precise motion profiles for drive base, integrating encoder values and IMU gyroscopes for drive train PID.

As an Education Mentor for Robotics at Downey Unified School District, I collaborated with Career Technical Education teachers and lead a ground of 4-5 mentors to create a 5 week summer camp to assist middle school Robotics teams' success. I lectured and mentored a cohort of 54 middle schoolers from two schools that comprised over 10 teams in 5 week sessions. Our curriculum incorporated principles of classical physics, electronics, computer aided design(Onshape), and programming in C++.

As the Technology Director of Sixth College Student Council at UC San Diego, I direct technology initiatives to enhance student experiences and engagement. I collaborate with other directors and event programming advisors to program events for SCSC. I managed a budget of $27,000 for technology events, programmed winter gaming tournaments for Sixth College students, doubled student turnout from median event size.
