Project Experience:
UC Irvine Racecar Project Sep 2014- Present
 Member of 7 person team responsible for the driveline and chassis design ofa gasoline Formula SAE racecar that will
compete in an annual competition.
 Profiled several parts for the chassis and procured parts used for our steering design
 Designed the firewall and seatfor the Formula SAE racecar utilizing SolidWorks
 Fabricated the seatby utilizing the Angle iron binge/notcher to curve sheetmetal to a specific angle
Tug Boat Project Jan-April 2015
 Worked effectively within a team tasked with the challenge ofconverting a RC speed boatinto a RC tug boat
 Lead the effort in determining power deliveryand thrustrequired of the boatand ensured itdid not affect its stability
 Analyzed the kinds ofbrushless motors (out-runners vs in-runners) in order to define the propeller design
 Conducted analysis thatresulted in determining the mostefficientpropeller pitch ratio
 Utilized Pugh Matrix to prioritize the design criteria (Tugging force,Cost, Robustness,Ease ofInstallation,etc.)
 Performed multiple static and dynamic tests to validate the mosteffective propeller design (number ofblades)
 Determined thatad
Mechanical Systems Lab April-June 2014
 Collaborated in a 5 person team tasked to design an autonomous robot to reach a beacon of infrared light
 Designed robotto propel form the actuation of pneumatic cylinder and to steer by only utilizing activation from a DC motor
 Assisted our group’s CAD designer to draft 3D models ofthe robot’s components
 Fabricated the robot’s mechanical structure and ensured all mechanical components required were functional
 Utilized industrystandard tools which include band saw,sander,and drill press to fabricate the robot’s components
 Assisted with the vibration analysis to calculate the resonantfrequency
Work Experience:
Engineering, Sciences and Information Technology Assistant – UCI Extension Aug. 2013 – Present
 Assistantto the Director, responsible for working with various professors to improve their online engineering courses
 Work with Solid Works, Microsoft Office to enhance online courses offered by UCI Extension
 Utilize SolidWorks to create 3D models used as tutorials for the students
 Edit and ensure the professor’s PowerPointpresentations are presentable and user friendly
 Work with programs such as MOODLE,an online learning platform,to help create personalized learning environments
 Used Statistica software to perform Predictive Analytics on efficacy of the online courses
Leadership and Involvement:
Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS)
Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE)
 Enhanced leadership and communication skills bycoordinating a mentorship program for the SHPE Jr. Chapter at a local H.S.
 Helped promote STEM awareness to high school students,as well as helping with college application process
Mexican – AmericanEngineers and Scientists (MAES)
 Attended the Leadership Academy- intensive program for leadership training.
Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Mu-Delta Chapter
 Involved with communityservice efforts by tutoring students and participating in philanthropyevents.
 Helped manage dog-tag sales booth which resulted in raising over $5000 for our 2015 Military Heroes Campaign annual
philanthropy
