- Developed the CAN bus design for a lander rocket testbed and performed cost-benefit analysis on all components - Effectively led a small team in the construction of the 17 foot CAN bus in daisy chain with M12 connectors connecting throttle controller, gimbal controller, EPS controller, and five sensor board modules, during weekly two 9-hour builds.- Developed a modular sensor PCB board design in EAGLE CAD compatible for over 40 sensors onboard vehicle. Fitted compatibility for thermocouples running on SPI protocol, pressure transducers running on I2C protocol and GPS and altimeter over UART. - Integrated ESP32 into sensor board using FreeRTOS in ESP IDF to transfer sensor data over separate mission-critical and non-critical CAN buses. - Fixed emergency stop system on Colossus static fire teststand in preparation for cold-flow and graphically organized sensor data from DAQ system.

Fremont, California, United States

- Led the overhaul of Model Y 1R Seat Assembly line, significantly enhancing network reliability and traceability and saving $60,000 in contractor costs by mapping and planning the installation of 60 Ethernet devices and 300 IO Modules.- Implemented a precise USB-C port connection and charging test procedure using Allen-Bradley PLC and Ignition HMI, ensuring enhanced product quality and customer satisfaction by measuring voltage and charge time accurately.- Designed and implemented a badge-enabled safety system PLC panel for a factory machine shop, automating tool shutdown after 3 minutes idle time and integrating with 13 machining tools for enhanced safety and operational efficiency.- Wired Seat Function Tester panels in-house for new vehicle model seat testing. Designed custom PCB adapter module for precision power resistor and implemented dual powering and testing methods for enhanced efficiency.

Corvallis, Oregon, United States

- Performed comprehensive circuit analysis on 100 extensively returned printhead control boards used in HP industrial printers, repairing boards for internal use. Identified that 40% of returned had no issue and 30% were repairable.- Characterized new recurring failure modes and implemented reusable testing scripts in Python programming in Functional Circuit Test to enhance defect detection, aiding future board iterations, and advancing manufacturing processes.- Utilized circuit schematics and board layouts as references to execute comprehensive tests and repairs.- Conducted functional assessments of transistors, voltage regulators, and electrical components to validate their operation.- Characterized eye diagrams for high speed and power signals using DSOZ204A 20 GHz oscilloscope and solder-on probes.

San Diego, California, United States

- Planned outreach events and developed curricula for local K-12 students to further interest in electrical engineering and programming.- Hosted Fusion 360 and 3D Printing Workshop for San Diego high school students and trained volunteers- Directed VEX Drone Regional San Diego Tournament in collaboration with Robolink for 10 high school teams- Facilitated IEEE’s Annual Boys Scouts Electrical Merit Badge Workshop by training volunteers to help scouts, teaching a presentation on intro to circuits, and overseeing building of blinking circuit in partners.

San Diego, California, United States

- Hosted weekly debate lessons on speech organization and note-taking and practice rounds in British Parliamentary Style- Registered the team to compete in National Open tournaments such as Hart House IV (University of Toronto), USC IV, and Cornell IV.- Designed lessons for introducing new debaters to BP style as well as practices and strategies for experienced debaters to improve

San Diego, California, United States

- Created weekly session plans to review lecture concepts and facilitate group work- Hosted two 1.5 hour session, one in-person and one virtual every week- One of two SI Leaders for Physics 2C—Fluids, Waves, Thermodynamics, and Optics and only SI leader for Physics 1A—Mechanics.

Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada

- Answered calls and replied to email- Made sales calls and developed communications skills- Registered new members on Spark database software- Greeted customers, tabulated staff hours, and designed promotional posters

- Created 3-4 lesson plans for each shift (1-3 shifts/week)- Taught all ages: tots, junior, and adult taekwondo classes- Incorporated integrity and discipline in lessons- Pivoted to teaching via Zoom, using breakout rooms and other functions to give one on one attention to students.
