Reinforcement learning project aimed at teaching an agent to navigate a 2D maze with continuous state space.https://github.com/lujan002/RL-2D-Maze

Developed a small autonomous ground vehicle using ROS (Robot Operating System). Focus on utilizing a stereo camera to achieve SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) and autonomous path planning/navigation.

Redesigned the Model X trunk floor by incorporating hinges and an innovative magnetic upright holding mechanism.Demonstrated hands-on expertise by building functional prototypes, prepared CAD in CATIA, and presented project progress to upper management on three occasions.Acquired expertise in design constraints encompassing plastic/composite parts.Conducted investigation into three methods for fixing metal stamping into rear-view mirror cover: 1) adhesive, 2) heat… Show more Redesigned the Model X trunk floor by incorporating hinges and an innovative magnetic upright holding mechanism.Demonstrated hands-on expertise by building functional prototypes, prepared CAD in CATIA, and presented project progress to upper management on three occasions.Acquired expertise in design constraints encompassing plastic/composite parts.Conducted investigation into three methods for fixing metal stamping into rear-view mirror cover: 1) adhesive, 2) heat staking, and 3) a novel in-mold labeling method. Independently initiated meetings with suppliers, prepared CAD in CATIA, secured DMF, and obtained competitive quotes in collaboration with global supply manager. Achieved $107k in cost savings for Tesla by initiating the rework of an obsolete part for reintroduction into current production. Successfully coordinated with the supplier, prepared rework instructions, and assessed cost-effective options, considering labor rates and shipping costs between China and the US. Show less

Collaborated with design team lead to brainstorm methods of improving design of several composite parts that had previously failed fire tests and incorporate changes in CATIA.

Assisted a professor and graduate teaching assistants by preparing in class problem sets for discussion section and guided students in working through them. Held independent office hours where I helped students with class concepts.
