Worked as an engineering intern on multiple projects in a fast-paced, startup environment:• Designed a sturdy, ventilated plastic switchbox that housed 4 power electronic components through consistent improvement of mechanical design and modeling validation of static FEA simulation• Developed real-time data logging tool to provide accurate system thermal details every 100ms by manipulating Protocol Buffers over TCP connections on Python • Reduced medical device qualification time by 35% per unit using automated Python scripts that analyzed large raw datasets against pre-defined quality standards and specifications• Enhanced thermal performance of medical device by 9.5% by performing raw materials analysis of various metals to compare material stiffness, impact strength, and thermal characteristics• Qualified and assessed the dynamic and thermal performance of the system using precise testing equipment such as load cells, laser tachometers, and Types J & K thermocouples

• Implemented longitudinal acceleration and LQR controllers using mathematical models of vehicle dynamics in C++

• Re-directed and adapted team efforts, during COVID-19 Pandemic, to work virtually towards realistic deliverables and goals to ensure long-term growth and success of project in later terms• Guided and supervised, using effective communication skills, technical project work towards product development and manufacturing of various prosthetics to deliver to amputees in underdeveloped countries

- Undergraduate Assistant and Grader for ME170 (Computer-Aided Design)- Assisting and teaching the students about the idea of Human-Centered Design and incorporating those ideas in their projects. Also, using my expertise, helping students hone their engineering design and Computer-Aided Design skills.

Bridgend, United Kingdom

During an on-site summer internship at a large-scale marine repair facility: - Engaged in examining multiple engineering drawings and detailed sketches of complex marine parts and technologies. - Conducted non-destructive testing (NDT) procedures for the inspection of welds on boilers, scrubbers, and steel pipelines. - Gained experience and insight into proper workshop project management; handled a small project from inception to fabrication. - Developed numerous Excel reports on the estimations of cost, labor, and materials required for the project fabrication. - Promoted the removal and proper replacement of single-use plastics in the workspace while working with the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Department.
