Hawthorne, California, United States

• Conducted root cause analysis on failing magnetic latching relays to lower reject rates. Collected electronics data with proprietary test machines, analyzed data with Pareto, scatter, and Weibull charts.
• Redesigned a relay spring mechanism with Solidworks Simulation, bringing stress below the material's yield point (stress decreased in total by a factor of 5.5) and achieving contact force targets.
• Developed new testing equipment and user manual for magnet quality assurance; used Helmholtz coil, fluxmeter, and plastic 3D-prints.
• 3D-designed a new relay assembly procedure involving an overhead camera and a rotating fixture.
• Measured and calculated magnetic characteristics (residual flux density, normal operating point, and magnetic moment) of incoming magnets to compare to spec sheets.
• Performed revisions and maintenance on engineering drawings with AutoCAD.

• Taught K-12 students in subjects such as Pre-Algebra, Calculus, etc. Wrote session summaries for student and parent.
• Expanded students’ STEM knowledge, provided deeper mathematical insights they would not find in the classroom, encouraged them to write their own educational story.

Downey, California, United States

• Created an underwater robotic eel which collects extensive oceanic data while generating its own power by harvesting energy from wave vibrations; for a DoE competition.
• Fabricated the eel’s waterproof composite exterior with carbon fiber and epoxy.
• 3D-designed and built small eel prototype made of sheet metal, stepper motors, and nylon prints.
• Constructed a propulsion-test system with an acrylic tank, extrusions, and load cell to measure prototype's thrust capabilities.

Los Angeles, California, United States

• Created syllabus and content material for a 6-week aerospace engineering fundamentals training course for new members. Wrote presentations, manuals, and guides for CAD, Manufacturing, Structures, and Lab workshops.
• Led CAD trainings and tutorials.

Los Angeles, California, United States

• 2020-2021 plane: With SolidWorks, drafted the tail section of the plane (horizontal stabilizer with NACA 0100 curve files, elevators, ribs, etc.) and integrated it into the grand assembly file. Prepared DXF and DWG.
• 2019-2020 plane: With SolidWorks, drew the lightening holes, servo slots, and ribs for the plane's wings.

Los Angeles, California, United States

• Led team of 6 mentors to create the technical side of UCLA Engineering's 2021 Transfer Student Bridge program, which earned high praise and secured funding for following 2022 year.
• Prepared and led technical skills workshops on CAD, FEA, Rapid Prototyping, and MATLAB for 50 attendants; put together exercise sets.
• Led development of a 10-team hackathon (~30 participants) under a 5-week timeline: fleshed out the technical challenge (Arduino RC/autonomous dump truck), determined a list of 50 parts, visualized & prototyped the.

Los Angeles, California, United States

• A subdivision of the ASME focused on designing, constructing, and battling with a 3 lb. robot.
• Launched master project vision for the bot (low-to-ground, vertically spinning drum weapon and angled steel side armor). Sketched out early schematics and coordinated a project timeline.
• Formed the blunt drum weapon in machine shop with mill. Soldered the electronics, fastened the weapon-shaft to motor pack.
• Created bill of materials, looked into proper wheels, ESCs, batteries, ran quality control checks to make sure we were on pace and in line with the rules.

Los Angeles, California, United States

• Fundamentals and Design Essentials (FADE) introduced me to my first hands-on projects in college.
• Gained experience with CAD on SolidWorks, designed structures which appear in the game StarCraft.
• Tinkered with basic circuitry and Python code, made simple Arduino circuits (LED, potentiometer).
• Practiced the mill, lathe, drill press operations on a metal cylinder in the machine shop.

La Habra, California, United States

• Led the club’s learning sessions, in preparation for the Science Olympiad competition held at UC Irvine, having taught ourselves such topics as Chemistry, Coding, and Forensics.
• Collaborated with team members to make our engineering project, a boomilever, for the competition.
• Managed the Popsicle Bridge Team and built a lightweight, robust bridge that was tested at a regional ASCE event. Scored 2nd in the "Presentation" category.

Brea, California

• Organized data records on Excel for easy updating and retrieval.
• Translated complex blueprints onto interactive displays.
• Recorded inbounds and outbounds for company billings forms.
