• Defined subteam-level design criteria while efficiently allocating resources and delegating manpower• Increased subteam recruitment and retainment, doubling subteam and project size by the end of the year• Designed shock isolation armor shell and topology-optimized baseplate chassis, minimizing weight and costs while conforming to new omnidirectional Kiwi drive and electronics constraints.

• Rebranded organization’s overarching theme with better integration of its 5 technical projects and subsidiary committees• Graphics, flyer, and banner creator• Shirt designer for the organization’s various technical projects and organizational merchandise

• Streamlined Wall-E superstructure design and subsystem mounting with use of weldments and standard profiles such as 80/20

• Designed, researched, and manufactured custom flywheel doubling as clutch mechanism interface for flywheel flipper robot, which won Innovation Award at Sacremento Battle Bot Competition 2023

• Dispositioned dozens of Requests for Engineering Orders, redlining drawings and performing cost analyses for each• Identified trends and recurrences across heavy hitter Non-Conformance reports, including the KC46, F35, & F18• Created a template & guidelines for Acceptance Test Procedures based on Test Software needs in a team of 5• Led a team of 7 to phase out Hex Chrome coating processes, tagging over 1200 parts & developing a custom search tool• Helped design a detailed cross-functional swim lane flowchart encompassing the whole actuation product design cycle

• 1 of 8 Engineering New Student Advisors assisting in the orientation and transition of incoming UCLA students, including both first-year and transfer students• With a total of 11 first-year and 9 transfer orientation sessions, enforced suitable courseload and class sequences for over 150+ engineering students• Albeit counseling all engineering majors, specialized in the advisement of CS and EE students.• Familiarized students with UCLA academic requirements as well as various on-campus technical clubs and opportunities

• Led workshops teaching best practices in Solidworks and CAD design, as well as preparing students for official Solidworks associate certification• Developed a 6-week curriculum for smaller technical organizations with no implemented CAD training

• Led rebranding of the organization’s name change and brand guide, refurbishing with a new logo, colors, and supporting elements• Created social media graphics

• Revamped and refined the organization’s styling elements to be more easily modifiable• Created social media graphics

• Mentored high school students on FRC robotics fundamentals from CAD to manufacturing to visual productions• Remotely gave feedback & redlined the current productions team’s content creation while advising on best practices in design

• Managed social media graphics for meetings, events, and STEM inspiration• Created an organizational system that all team members could easily use to catalog and queue social media posting

• Led design of 2022 Robot climber subsystem as well as 2020 & 2021 Robot superstructure subsystem; overseeing the whole prototyping, design, integration, manufacturing, & assembly process.• Created a standardized naming scheme and inventory system for purchased stock and COTS• Taught new members efficient operation of heavy machinery including: machining mills, lathes, CNCs, laser cutters, and 3d printers to manufacture robot parts• Specialized operation in Grizzly tabletop machining mill and Universal ILS laser cutter
