~ Implemented autonomous and manual sailing controls using a ESP32 running FreeRTOS ~ Interacted with magnetometers, IMUs, GPS, and magnetic encoders using I2C ~ Designed PCB for ESP32, IMU, Magnetometer, and GPS module using KiCAD.

Richmond, California, United States

~ Implemented vehicle firmware using I2C, SPI, UART, and CAN for sensor readings, IC communication, torque control, and low-voltage system management~ Led a team of 10 engineers to develop custom data visualization software and vehicle firmware~ Validated communication between ECUs with Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing~ Designed a BMS state machine to manage precharge, idle, discharge, and cell balancing state within custom accumulator~ Conducted weekly training sessions with custom lecture materials to onboard new team members

Berkeley, California, United States

~ Investigated methods of using values from the battery management system (BMS) and acceleration pedal position sensor (APPS) as a means of limiting torque to conserve battery during electric vehicle operation.~ Developed C library to abstract transceive and receive functions for communication along CAN bus using STM32 microcontrollers .~ Implemented firmware using STM32 HAL Library for sensor readings and vehicle controls.

Granada Hills

~ Collaborated with team driver to optimize user experience of robot based on driver requirements.~ Increased accuracy of autonomous robot operation by implementing PID control loops with the VEX V5 motor encoders for better control over motor position.
