Test Engineering and Infrastructure Development for EE System Integration Team

Berkeley, California, United States

As part of our coursework in UC Berkeley's MEng program, students work in teams with an external client on a yearlong project in their focus area. Our team worked with Assistive Technology Development to create an improved prototype of a hybrid knee brace and powered exoskeleton for knee replacement patients.- Python development with custom scripts and client API to automate physical therapy exercises- UX investigation on process flow and how to mimic in-person physical therapy with a robot- Designed plan for software, HIL, and full system testing and safe actuator/sensor integration

Mechanical engineering consultant for products from proof of concept prototyping to production.- Managed clients, part vendors, staffing resources, and budget as project manager- Designed test fixtures and test plans for mechanical, fluid, and robotic systems- Mechatronic development and sensor selection/interface with Arduino, motors, pumps, and fans- Solidworks CAD design for production and prototype assemblies, DFM/DFA

Lead of Robotics for student-lead team collaborating with the Center of Bioengineering and Design. Team prototyped a mechanical system to sort dead mosquitoes by species, to ultimately automate disease tracking of mosquitoes.- Developed software for Raspberry Pi and Pi Cameras to take high resolution pictures of mosquitoes- CAD design and build of mechanical system with pneumatics and stepper motors- Designed a custom driver for 2D Gantry on ArduinoWinner Best Design Day Presentation for sharing our final project.

As a Dynamics Lab Teaching Assistant, I lead weekly undergraduate lab sections in dynamics experiments and activities. In addition to teaching and offering academic support for students, I also helped develop new experiments using Arduino, elevator governors, and water bottle rockets.

As a Teaching Assistant, I lead lab sections where students would investigate vehicle subsystems and delivered lectures on the mechanics of these subsystems. The vehicles used in the class were the Ford 8N Tractor, Willys CJ-2A, and Ford Model A.

In my first summer at Acorn PD, I worked on prototype builds, testing prototypes in-house and at client sites, and designing parts and test fixtures in CAD.

Baltimore, Md

The Flow Physics and Computation Lab investigates fluid flow phenomena. At this research laboratory, I helped build a custom wind tunnel and conducted testing on the flutter of flexible membranes.
