Joining Microsoft as a Software Engineer Intern for 2025!

First identified a market void for premium ergonomic keyboard cases for a specific model of keyboard that has the perfect position as the most popular design in one of the smaller niches of mechanical keyboards. Then conducted market research on 250+ designsModeled and prototyped 5+ case designs through CAD(Fusion 360), 3D printing, and machining, using iterative design to optimize for varying levels of stability, aesthetics, part compatibility, premium feel, & ease of assembly. Also received feedback from other enthusiasts online to tailor my design based on feature demand.Collaborated with overseas manufacturers to CNC, plasma cut, die cut, and finish materials including aluminum, polycarbonate, and EVA foam for products and packagingManaged timeline, budget, and communications with multiple suppliers and manufacturersMarketed to niche communities using social media and online forums, sold 400+ units to 15+ countries for >$50K revenue

Improving body tracking accuracy through sensor fusion and pose averaging, increasing measurement reliabilityExpanding pose calibration system to allow VR program to work with stroke patients of varying levels of disabilityResearching & implementing dynamic difficulty adjustment of VR rehabilitation exercises for maximum engagement

• Leading design and programming for flight data collection, processing, and display using python• • Collaborating with electronics leads to design and programming redundant telemetry and avionics systems for hybrid engine rocket

Designed state controller architecture for robotic quadruped behavior based on controller input, sensor data, and IKProgrammed Raspberry Pi (RPi) in Python for wireless game console controller control and inverse kinematics (IK) implementationDeveloped C++ code for Arduino servo control, increased modularity, rapid testing, and easy integration of systemFacilitated Arduino and RPi device communication over serial to integrate control, sensor, and processing systems

I regularly published Minecraft datapack tutorials on my YouTube channel where I taught programming concepts to prospective programmers in an engaging but educational way. This gave me the chance to have fun programming and teaching others while letting me target a niche for traction on Youtube, along with developing communications and marketing skills.This gave me insight into important parts of running a business and providing value to people by understanding a target audience, creating an optimized workflow, researching competition in similar niches, and hitting the right balance of pleasing the audience and sticking to the brand. All of these skills together helped me to accumulate over 20K subscribers and >5M views.
