My main role is to maintain hospital equipment by performing annual, semiannual, and quarterly preventative maintenance to follow the company's Equipment Management Program to ensure equipment safety for patient use. I regularly troubleshoot, assess, and perform in-house repairs on medical equipment to ensure that healthcare professionals are able to successfully complete their daily operations. I continue 24/7 operations through an on-call rotation for troubleshooting assistance and repairs after hours.

In this position, my main role was to work in a team to identify, troubleshoot, and improve upon production and processing issues within the company. I helped redesign multiple inventory systems and implemented various 5S projects and work stations around the company. In doing so, I streamlined manufacturing and production processes to ensure that shipments met customer deadlines. My other main role was to produce bubble drawings and analyze engineering drawing dimensions for both members of my team and the customers. These drawings were then used for part inspection to ensure products met tolerances.

For this project, I worked in an on-campus research lab under Alan D. Widgerow at UCI Medical Center. The goal of this project was to create a device that generates micro nanobubbles by combining saline and pressurized oxygen to stimulate wound healing for patients with chronic wounds. These micro nanobubbles are paired with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to not only clear exudate from the wound but also oxygenize the wound to salvage tissue. The bubbles are administered to patients and a vacuum then sucks out the exudate. In a group, I helped examined the mechanisms and components of a micro nanobubble machine and its corresponding Arduino code. In doing so, I altered and analyzed the code for an increasingly comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms as well as the organization of code. I also created 3-D CAD models utilizing OnShape for the micro nanobubble machine and its additional components. Once the team finished our preliminary research, we innovated and designed a more compact, portable, and user-friendly micro nanobubble device. Within the team, I contributed to another 3-D CAD model for research grants and proposals. We were able to design the device in a compact form while maintaining its vital components. In addition, we also did market research to compare other NPWT devices in the market to create a business model and market proposition.
