- Responsible for building applications for the automotive field- Programmed sinusoidal encoder drivers for electric vehicle PMSM motors and integrated it with a Field Oriented Control algorithm on StellarE automotive MCU- Created Battery Management System Demo with features including cell monitoring, cell balancing, over/under current protection, and state of charge/state of health monitoring- Optimized time-critical functions on a dual-core MCU using CPU cache prefetching, multiprocessing with shared memory IPC, running functions out of RAM, and using an FPU; increased execution speed by over 75%

- Oversaw 5 technical projects with 10 leads and 300+ members, providing technical and organizational guidance - Supervised lab space and aided club members use tools such as oscilloscopes and soldering stations to complete projects- Co-directed IDEAHacks (yearly hardware hackathon) operations committee of 7 people; standardized parts checkout process and made part usage guides for hackathon participants

- Developed a 2 player fighting game (based on streetfighter) on Altera DE10-Lite FPGA board- Completed labs on digital signal processing, VGA display driver using pingpong RAM, and NES controller driver- Constructed game logic drivers and implemented sprite graphics and attacks than update based on NES controller inputs

- Lead year-long project aimed at teaching 70+ UCLA engineering students the fundamentals of embedded programming with STM32 microcontrollers, circuit and PCB design with Autodesk Fusion360, and soldering.- Created 6 lectures on topics including circuit design, part selection, PID feedback control systems, and complex maze solving algorithms like floodfill.- Hosted design reviews and workshops to help students perfect their PCB designs and debug their STM32 boards.- Assisted 4 colleges initiate their own micromouse program through the creation of an outreach curriculum (Micromouse 2.0) that guides students in building their first micromouse.- Organized the 2024 Inter-collegiate All American Micromouse Competition with participants from 6 universities

- Created a micromouse autonomous maze solving robot in a team of 3. - Designed custom PCBs using KiCad, Eagle, and Altium. - Programmed and tuned a PID control system based on encoder readings, IR sensor values, and gyroscope measurements. - Learned how to use STM32's DMA and ADC to read sensor data. Used embedded C on an STM32 board to program the floodfill maze solving algorithm. - Developed I2C software to obtain accelerometer and gyroscope readings from an MPU6050 IMU- Won 3rd place in the 2023 All American Micromouse Competition, 2nd place in the 2024 All American Micromouse Competition

- Helped develop features for the EDG-IDE, an experimental circuit design IDE. - Developed the BOM tool that sweeps the schematic, makes a BOM, and saves it in a .csv file for use with JLCPCB. - Utilized python's pickle library to create a KiCad plugin to accelerate workflow by allowing the user to save PCB hierarchies and reuse them in similar boards in the future. - Contributed to the Design Space Exploration (DSE) project which provides users with a DSE graph to compare different components that can achieve the same purpose for optimal part selection. Specifically, I implemented the price objective function and the infrastructure for users to write their own objective functions to compare any properties in the DSE graph. Paper accepted CHI 2024.

Started & ran civics & debate programs in local middle & elementary schools. Organized tryouts, volunteering, and collaborated with leads to create and teach a debate curriculum. Prepared students for East Bay Debate League tournaments in which they consistently had winning records and won speaker awards.

Co-founded the CS club at my high school. I was responsible for recruiting members along with teaching python. I guided students on python projects such as creating maze solving games and teaching them how to use code to make animations.

As a research intern, I helped conduct an audit study to explore the implicit racial bias in various employers across the country. Working with an international team, I learned the importance of collaboration & communication. I discovered the intricacies of conducting an audit study, including controlling variables and standardization. Furthermore, I was involved in the collection & categorization of large amounts of data while making sure that none of it confounded with the data that other interns were categorizing.
