As the instructor for DPI's first offering of its "Exploring Electric and Computer Engineering" summer course, I developed a 5-week long curriculum teaching ECE concepts to high school students from underrepresented groups in engineering. I led a combination of lectures and circuits labs, teaching both hardware and software concepts to students through breadboard circuits and microcontroller programs.

As a hardware engineering intern, I worked on circuit designs and final assembly/shipment of hardware units. In the circuit design portion of the internship, I selected components based on specifications, price, and availability, and used KiCAD software for schematic capture and PCB layout. When we received assembled PCBs, I ensured that they were tested and functioning properly before inserting them into enclosures and shipping the final product to customers.

To support the university's jazz and classical concerts, I set up live sound reinforcement equipment ranging from simple mono playback systems to more complex discrete surround systems including playback and instrument amplification. I also recorded concerts and student recitals, performing all of the post-production duties.

As part of the student classroom tech support team, I provided immediate in-person technical support to professors, students, and staff who are having technical issues during lectures and meetings. I maintained all classroom AV/IT equipment such as projectors, computers, and audio amplifiers. I also had the opportunity to serve as the senior technician who trained all incoming student tech support workers.
