  • Advanced.Farm
    Software Engineering Manager Of Robotics And Controls
    Advanced.Farm Feb 2022 - Present
    Davis, Ca, Us
    As a Software Manager of Advanced.farm my team and I work to improve the controls of our robotics arms, harvester motion compensation, and fruit picking algorithms.
  • Advanced.Farm
    Software Engineer
    Advanced.Farm Sep 2020 - Present
    Davis, Ca, Us
    At advanced.farm I work with the software engineering team creating a robot strawberry harvester.
  • Caltech
    Computational Vision Researcher
    Caltech Jan 2020 - Sep 2020
    Pasadena, Ca, Us
    In Dr. David Anderson's lab I am working to track the firing timing of neurons inside a Jellyfish with respect to each other and food stimulus. These jellyfish are genetically engineered so that their neurons glow when they fire. My job is to accurately track the neurons while the jellyfish moves and detect when each neuron fires.
  • Caltech
    Senior Software Team Member For The Caltech Robotics Team
    Caltech Oct 2017 - Jun 2020
    Pasadena, Ca, Us
    As a senior member of the Caltech Robotics Team software subteam I worked on many tasks including the Extended Kalman Filter to improve our submarines localization.
  • Caltech
    Senior Mechanical Team Member For The Caltech Robotics Team
    Caltech Sep 2015 - Jun 2020
    Pasadena, Ca, Us
    As a Senior Mechanical Team Member, I am in charge of larger mechanical tasks as well as overseeing groups of junior members. Previously, I designed the upper pressure hull used to seal the electronics of our most recent robotic submarine, oversaw the progress of a suction mechanism for picking up golf balls, and completed most of the team's machining tasks.
  • Caltech
    Computational Vision Researcher
    Caltech Jan 2020 - Apr 2020
    Pasadena, Ca, Us
    In Dr. Pietro Perona's lab I created a camera trap for animal detection using a Raspberry Pi and various sensors in C++. The goal of this project is to learn how the sensors react to the presence of animals in order to allow the system to operate in low power mode most of the time.
  • Caltech
    Business Manager For The Caltech Robotics Team
    Caltech Sep 2017 - Aug 2019
    Pasadena, Ca, Us
    As Business Manager I was in charge of fund raising, outreach, public communication, and media. See me discuss our final run at RoboSub 2018! Here's a link to when I start talking at 2:17:45: https://youtu.be/5TZxSi5iT6k?t=8254
  • Caltech
    Student Coffee House Manager
    Caltech Apr 2017 - Feb 2019
    Pasadena, Ca, Us
    As a manger of the student coffee house at Caltech, I was in charge of creating our menu, deciding end-of-term special food items, responding to student requests and concerns, staffing the facility, pricing menu items, and informing the Caltech student body of the coffee house schedule.
  • Caltech
    Project Engineer For Caltech Robotics Team
    Caltech Jun 2018 - Aug 2018
    Pasadena, Ca, Us
    I served the function of Project Engineer for the Caltech Robotics Team. This entailed hands-on leadership in the weeks preceding and during our competition. In addition to working closely with the engineering sub-team leads in order to coordinate tasks between mechanical, electrical, and software systems, I also focused on troubleshooting and innovation.
  • Mimosa, By Airspan
    Platform Engineer Intern
    Mimosa, By Airspan Jun 2019 - Sep 2019
    Santa Clara, California, Us
    At Mimosa I designed a system in C/C++/php/bash to control the functionality of the L26-T GPS chip on the company's A5X radios to regulate the internal clock as accurately as possible to prevent two radios from interfering with each other even when a 3D fix lock is not present. In situations with prolonged loss of all satellite signals the internal 40 MHz clock will switch modes to be disciplined by measuring CFO.
  • Mimosa Networks
    Mechanical Engineering Intern
    Mimosa Networks Jun 2018 - Sep 2018
    Santa Clara, California, Us
    At Mimosa Networks I was instrumental in creating and updating mechanical drawings of various product components in order to allow for the production of prototypes and final products. I designed a mounting bracket which allows for 360 degree mounting of eight antennae and radio pair and which is capable of being attached to a wide range of pole diameters.
  • Experimental Cosmology Lab At Ucsb
    Spacecraft Research Intern
    Experimental Cosmology Lab At Ucsb Jun 2017 - Sep 2017
    In this internship I researched methods of thinning large silicon/titanium wafers to create ultra-thin spacecraft with extremely low mass. I also designed and built a prototype CubeSat to launch 120 PCB-craft as well as a prototype CubeSat designed to launch 100 of the thin wafer-spacecraft.
  • Baron Peter'S Chemical Engineering Lab At Ucsb
    Computational Chemistry Research Intern
    Baron Peter'S Chemical Engineering Lab At Ucsb Jun 2014 - Jul 2015
    In this research position I used computer modeling programs and Density Functional Theory (DFT) to find thermodynamic minima and maxima in an effort to determine the correct transition states and subsequent reaction pathways in the autocatalysis of gold nano-particles from dimethylgoldacetylacetonate.
