- Built a large-scale distributed robot arm cluster for running experiments and autonomous/human data collection in parallel. - Designed and developed tools which reduced downtime of systems and experiments by 90%. These tools also increased productivity and efficiency by 35%. - Designed data transfer automation services to ensure a stable and secure pipeline for multi-step backup from a local machine to a AWS S3 Bucket via an EC2 instance. This pipeline has been used to move data over 5Tb+ so far. - Ran large-scale data collection using methods like teleoperation, kinesthetic demonstration, and autonomous bin pick and place. Collected over 70,000 demonstrations of data, see https://robopen.github.io/roboset/- Used wired/wireless network via IPv6 to create a virtual mesh network to share environments and files amongst different devices in a lab and across the country.Via insight global

President of Indian Student Association (ISA) at the University of Washington Bothell. This is a student-run club with 100+ members that come together to promulgate the Indian Culture and maintain racial harmony on campus as well as offer immigration assistance to international students.

Led a team of Electrical Engineers to design and build a smart hive that would measure the temperature and humidity of the hive and send it back to the beekeepers as well as sending back the live footage of the hive in realtime. This goal was achieved by attaching peripheral devices to a Raspberry Pi model 4B+ and programming it using Python.
