Working with senior leadership and leading cross-functional projects across Operations and Supply Chain.

Los Angeles Metropolitan Area

Leading the consolidated forecasting efforts to ensure a synergy across Marketing, Operations, and Finance in working towards the organisation's 2022 goals.

Los Angeles, California, United States

Focus: Built the tools for and ran the long term strategic planning efforts for manufacturing for a $550M business1. Created a dynamic tool using Google Sheets and Google App Script (javascript) to aggregate the company’s sales and the production capacity in order to forecast the achievable fulfillment for the next 16 months. This tool is used daily by.

Bryan/College Station, Texas Area

• Focus: Simulated conditions experienced by vehicles in hypersonic flows (e.g. a capsule re-entering the atmosphere) to improve current predictive tools used in spacecraft design
• Conducted extensive Monte-Carlo simulations using Fortan and processed several terabytes of information to create databases for flow modeling, resulting in significant improvement over presently available computational.
• Used machine learning tools, such as nonlinear regression, in MATLAB to find trends in databases and interpolate for missing information, hence reducing computational costs in data generation
• Developing an artificial neural network algorithm, using Python and Tensorflow, to accelerate a process that takes several weeks and hundreds of cores on a supercomputer

Notre Dame, Indiana

• Focus: Researched scramjet, an aircraft engine that operates in supersonic conditions, specifically focusing on how to prevent a phenomenon called un-start which causes scramjets to turn off in mid-flight
• Organised and post-processed unstructured data collected from experimental sensors using MATLAB, leading to new insights about how the engine becomes inoperative
• Contributed towards a published work in the AIAA Scitech 2019 conference

South Bend, Indiana Area

• Focus: Reported to the Director of Public Works of South Bend to design cost-effective engineering solutions for the city
• Created an autonomous data collection system using micro-controllers programmed in Arduino IDE (C++), to assess the performance of rain gardens as a solution for combined sewage overflow
• Created an innovative prototype for road temperature measurements using infrared remote sensing technology in order to optimize de-icing of roads, which led to the creation of a company, Frost Control Systems, Inc.

• Crcl is a recommendation platform at heart that aims to cater to user preferences through its unique crowdsourcing feature that centers around affinity groups. My role at Crcl entailed:
• working on the preliminary research and design team
• working on the marketing team for the launch
