EXPERIENCE

I was a student researcher at the Machine Learning and Autonomy for Diverse Domains (MADD) Lab at Harvey Mudd College. I work with integrating and optimizing Machine Learning models on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin platform for real-time computer vision applications for wildfire detections. My work includes implementing these models, benchmarking their performance, and optimizing them for low-latency inference. I also plan to dabble a little into drone communication networks and potentially Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) localization techniques.

Last Summer, I was a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) intern at the Colorado School of Mines in the Materials Science and Engineering division under Professor Anna Staerz. I worked with developing a Gallium Oxide Hydrogen sensor in harsh conditions. This project grew my skills in mechanical design, electrical setups, and Operando Spectroelectrochemistry (fancy way of saying "monitoring and analyzing spectroscopic device output in real-time").

# I presented my work at the Colorado School of Mines, Harvey Mudd College, and an international
# conference (see above): The Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall 2025 Meeting, in Boston, MA.

My previous research includes working as a student researcher and project manager as part of the Degrees of Freedom Project (DOFPro) under Prof. Erik Spjut. I created and updated open-source educational software resources for HMC Engineering classes. I also built and test a 55m dual-deploy rocket that earned me NAR Level 1 Certification!

I am involved in two main academic clubs: MuddSub and MACH.

MuddSub is Harvey Mudd's student-run autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) team that competes in the international RoboSub competition. As the President, I lead 50+ students (see below) to work on building our new AUV, Crush, including designing and building custom PCBs, integrating Computer Vision softwares, and fabricating our robot. I also help with business, communication, and logistics for managing such a big club.

MACH is Harvey Mudd's automotive club where we build a working automotive completely from scratch! As the Chief Powertrain Engineer, I oversee the design, development, and implementation of the vehicle's powertrain system, including the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. I work closely with other engineers in both mechanical and electrical systems to ensure that the powertrain is efficient, reliable, and meets performance goals.

I also do various non-academic clubs, such as the 5C Swim Club, 5CIV (Christian InterVarsity Group), and Drive HMC, our campus simulation racing club! I also served as a South Dorm Mentor, helping frosh adjust and thrive to college life at HMC, and also hosting fun South Dorm events and traditions - including daily crosswords!

I currently work as an Embedded Systems Engineer for ExploraVist, a startup creating technologies for blind and visually-impaired people. I work with setting up their next-generation board, equipped with a fast MCU, LIDAR, and on-board WiFi that connects to an app! I also work on their Machine Learning development side, adding complex machine learning functionalities for more advanced uses of our device (such as a virtual tour guide for museums).

In the past, I have worked as a tutor for Upward Bound, a company that helps low-income and first-generation high school students prepare for college. I tutored various subjects, including Math, Physics, and Chemistry, and helped students with college application essays and personal statements.

I also do private tutoring for students in various subjects across various ages! If you need help with any subject (including college applications), feel free to contact me! I may even give you a discount since you found me through my website ;)
