• Used ROS for workspace analysis and kinematics optimization of a miniature dexterous bi‑manual end‑effector for a robotic arm.
• Wrote software for data collection and analysis for a new force and torque sensor for use in robotic fingers

Waimea, Hawaii, United States

• Developed image processing software for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer’s spectrograph
• Used Python’s PIL, OpenCV, and Numpy libraries for image segmentation and automated image mask creation
• Used scikit‑learn’s clustering to separate fibers in input images and reject outliers based on the probability density functions
• Wrote Bash scripts to automate the data processing pipeline

New York, New York, United States

• Assisted in the creation of a miniature test‑bed for robotic simulation of NYC intersections
• Created software for object localization using Python’s OpenCV library
• Created software for loading map data as waypoints into a graph data structure

Waimea, Hawaii, United States

• Developed software for locating and quantifying cloud coverage on Mauna Kea using Machine Learning. The position was in-person during the summer, but I continued to work on the project remotely until I presented it at.
• Performed various engineering tasks as requested by CFHT, including assisting in the development of a pneumatic pressure regulator system for supporting the primary mirror

New York, United States

Worked with a Ph.D. candidate to assist in the development of an inverted SLS 3D printer system. My work focused on integrating load‑cell feedback to vary layer thickness based on pressure application, a novel concept uniquely applicable to the inverted design. Tasks revolved around electronics using an Arduino as well as engineering design work using CAD.

New York, United States

Assisted in the development of a cross‑platform, cross‑device, real‑time cloud engine with geolocation support by developing use-case example prototypes using Unity.

Hawaii, United States

• Worked under CFHT guidance to develop all‑sky weather sensing instruments for use by all of Mauna Kea Observatories
• Replaced the visible‑light camera for the ASIVA instrument which had been down for 10+ years as a part of the Akamai Workforce Initiative internship program
• Developed a dual‑band weather sensing instrument utilizing visible‑light and infrared cameras during an extended internship term as requested by CFHT

New York, United States

Developed food printers for a project under CML. Printers were designed, built, and tested within an 8‑week timespan and used by 100+ students during the semester, requiring regular upkeep and development based on feedback
