-worked with upperclass houses to help advise student staff in residence and worked in an on-call capacity to address emergencies happening in student housing

-Worked at Ford Greenfield Labs on new sensor fusion algorithms/architectures for 3D object detection using LIDAR, camera, and radar inputs (patent application for work)-Runner-up Award Winner of Ford Hackathon for work on a new product utilizing 3D pose estimation algorithms for new customer acquisition-Invention Filing for Cockpit Technology-Created a new fleet management product for fraud prevention (Jan-Mar 2021)

-Course: BIOE 70Q- Medical Device Innovation. This course: 1) familiarizes students with all aspects of biomedical innovation from needs finding to regulation to prototyping and more; 2) has students physically design a prototype for a given engineering problem-Responsible for working one-on-one to support students through the prototyping process-Assisting in transforming course to fully digital delivery as a result of COVID-19

-Course: ChemEng 90Q- Dare to Care: Compassionate Design. This is a fast-pace, smaller course (16 students in my section) that focuses on designing products for people with special needs. Students report finishing the course with a strong understanding of the design pipeline and are significantly better equipped as presenters.-Responsible for providing individualized engineering design feedback and presentation skills feedback to every student biweekly-Supported first-year and sophomore students navigating group project dynamics and challenging design principles

-Worked as an undergraduate research assistant in the Human-Computer Interaction Group of the Computer Science Department-Summer Project: Acoustic Source Localization Using a Single Microphone ArrayI was the lead on the deep learning aspect of the project and also worked on the novel data collection pipeline we introduced.-Autumn Project: We worked on creating a more robust accessibility feature for Android mobile systems.

Working on NLP Research with the Intelligent Systems Division to create a Question-Answering (QA) tool for use on space flight missions.- Used PyTorch and Huggingface transformers to develop a QA model- Used Python to build out a QA tool- Using an ERN (Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack to develop a web dashboard for my QA tool

Responsible for holding office hours for students of all types at the University to coach them on presentation skills, building engaging decks, effective lecturing, argumentation, etc.

Working on medical devices product design and development as well as various start-up related tasks.- Using CAD software to iterate on product.

-One of 8 RAs responsible for the well-being and mentorship of a community of ~190 residents in our house (primarily first-years with a mix of upperclassmen)-We work as a team to, above all, care for the entire community however they need to be cared for and strive to support each other in supporting each and every resident (we truly mean every, single resident) -Primary responsibilities have included: supporting students and running residential programmingStudent Support (some things I am currently helping students with):Academic, Alcohol/Drugs Related, Emergency Medical, Relationships (Platonic or Otherwise), Family Issues, Employment Struggles, Becoming Independent Adults (for the frosh), Stress of Every Kind, Anything that involves tearsResidential Programming:Weekend On Calls, Workshops on Student Life and Mental Health Topics, Community Events, Hall Activities, etc.

Course: UAR 101 (Frosh 101)-Responsible for co-leading a section of 10 first-year students in topics such as self-reflection, community building, transitioning, etc.

-Responsible for planning and leading field trips, on-site activities, and more for the Stanford Summer Session high school program (~400 students)-Worked on a small team of 4-Lived in the high school residences and functioned as a counselor

-Learned how to focus on honing in and identifying needs, without regard for potential solutions-My selected areas of observation: Pediatric Surgery, NICU, & Emergency Room Opportunity Identification

I worked as a management consultant for the CEO of Buzzworks Business Services through the Institute for Innovation in Developing Economies. I was working to accelerate a business already growing at being 2-3x year on year. In my role, I led reviews of each business vertical and specifically created high impact recommendations for talent acquisition and management as well as sales/delivery stickiness. My job was to improve the internal and external value chain networks and think deeply about future market landscapes and strategies (>5 years down the line).

Project lead for work involving image analysis and segmentation as related to microCT usage in pathology labs.

Past research includes: commercially printed rGO supercapacitors, bioinformatics (linking methylation and making iPSCs), TALENs, and nanoparticles (for controlled delivery inside the nuclei of cells).

At this startup, I worked on using Arduino technology to create a testing module.
