Professional Experience
Automation Engineering Intern Summer of 2016
Cadreon (IPG Mediabrands) – San Francisco
 Developed custom functionality within an API automation framework that allowed for
rapid regression/functional testing of several RESTful API projects
 Integrated custom automation framework with 3rd party data management tool
 Trained existing employees on using the new custom framework
Learning Support Services Tutor 2014-2015
University of California – Santa Cruz
 Taught and assisted undergraduate students in the area of Ordinary Differential Equations,
and their relations to engineering disciplines
Student Design Trainee Intern Summer of 2015
San Francisco Public Utilities Commission
 Reviewed AutoCAD schematics to proofread and enhance existing mechanical designs
 Developed PowerShell programs to automate data management
 Used SCADA control systems to monitor mechanical systems
 Overhauled and oversaw the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Plant’s computer systems,
completing the overhaul project one month ahead of schedule
Engineering/Web Development Intern Summer of 2014
XTime (Acquired by Cox Automotive)
 Implemented Google Analytics software into Scheduling 7, a scheduling software for car
dealerships and performed data analysis of the data to implement JavaScript code which
increased customer usability, satisfaction, and overall profits
 Developed Java programs for Oracle database connectivity to retrieve data and statistics.
 Implemented back-end and front-end designs for Scheduling 7

2. Personal Projects
Autonomous Quadcopter September 2015
 Added a Bluetooth receiver (nRF8001 board) to a Syma X11 quadcopter to follow a
Bluetooth signal emitted by my mobile device.
 Wrote control code to adjust for autonomous flight
Robot with Servomotor Legs January 2015
 Created a robot that walks using eight servomotors for legs through the Arduino
 Wrote code to create a preprogrammed path for the robot to walk.
 Robot turned due to specific variations in the servomotor angular rotation
Academic Projects
Autonomous “Roach” Robot Sept 2016
 Created an autonomous wheeled robot which mimicked the behavior of a cockroach
2 kHz Infared Light Sensor Oct 2016
 Created a complex circuit design involving gain stages, filters, peak detectors, etc. that had
the capability to detect a 2 kHz (while rejecting all other frequencies) waveform generator
through a phototransistor from 6 feet away.
Autonomous Golf Robot Oct – Dec 2016
 Created a sophisticated autonomous robot based off of given design specifications in thirty
days
 Robot was required to navigate a field by following black tape using phototransistors, detect
a ball loader using a 25 kHz track wire, and detect targets with a 2 kHz beacon.
 Utilized hierarchical state machines to write all the control code
Hardware Implementation of Reversi June 2016
 Using a PSOC FPGA, I created the game of Reversi using a LED board and C
 Game was able to be played through keyboard input and was also able to play with other
players through wireless communcation
