• As a Bootloader Software Engineering Intern for 3 months, contributed beyond expectations by owning and deploying 2 important projects. Moved to full-time on 5G L2, which has a system with complex HW-SW interactions.
• Took part in validation and verification of newest pre-silicon hardware, then owned design and implementation of a few new firmware features.
• Praised for bringing enormous time savings and robustness to dev workflow by creating a heavily optimized testing framework for all Modem SW teams, and kickstarted usage for the 5G Uplink team.
• Took charge over the Analysis tools subteam which sets our team apart from others. Took initiative to automate and hook into many dev workflows.Skills:
• Python
• 5G L2 Protocol

• “Colossus SFS” Project: High-activity student initiative to create a liquid propellant rocket engine static fire test stand, mentored and sponsored by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.
• 20 hours/week working with a large team to design and build. Upgraded system architecture after learning from initial build
• Took charge in architecture design for our 4 electronics/software sub-systems, leading a sub-team of 8.
• Personally wrote robust LabVIEW software for the automated testing sequence, operator GUI, and other system operations interfacing with data acquisition modules and sensors. Systems-level software debugging.
• Data logging, automated pressure/temperature monitoring, user interaction, and automated sequencing.
• Industrial panel design, power delivery, solid state relays, solenoid actuation, critical communication, and controls.

California, US

• Valuable asset to the design and fabrication of the electronics panel and the firmware of the automated control system and manual override communications system. Implemented RS-485 for v1 design.
• PCB design with Altium Designer, basic CAD with SolidWorks, embedded C programming in 8051 architecture and AVR architecture, hardware prototyping and debugging using oscilloscope and logic analyzer.

San Diego, CA, US

• Contributed beyond expectations to the boot team, learning parts of the code base to successfully deploy 2 important projects.
• Added a new feature to the bootloader firmware to improve handling of crash scenarios and providing insight into the crash. Writing in C and assembly language.
• Developed a robust Python tool to hook into the build process to automatically generate control flow graphs to be included as documentation with shipments. Developed a feature to flatten indirect function pointer calls.
• ARMv8
• Aarch64
• JTAG debugging

Austin, Texas, US

• Performed as a critical, well-rounded member of the remanufacturing engineering team in the Model3 ramp-up, with high workload and constant urgency.
• Industrial electrical panel design for automated and technician operation, including proper safety strategies into equipment.
• Integrated hardware and LabVIEW designs, with strong understanding of Data Acquisition, Multifunction I/O, CAN bus protocol.
• Made schematics for 6 electrical and pneumatic equipment projects, contributing to engineering decisions, and iterating.
• Took ownership of the electrical design, validation and deployment of an end of line tester, which required a comprehensive understanding of the Model3 battery, and debugging hardware and software issues.Skills:
• Industrial equipment design

La Jolla, California, US

• Working alongside Ph.D. data scientists in development of online course content and production of video in the Big Data field. Praised for work and given growing responsibilities.
• Referred to secondary work at the UCSD Office for Online & Technology Enhanced Education on recommendation by my supervisor.Skills:
• Video production
• Big Data
• Data science
• Technical tutorial writing

• Assembled and lead a team of 20 people to produce all video content for Del Norte High School in it's most successful year yet. Working prior years as a sought-after editor, video effects, 3D modeling, and camera work.
• Leadership with high-pressure expectations came with a lot of work and team coordination.
