About Me

My Skills and Expertise

As a recent graduate in Computer Engineering from the University of Washington, I possess a solid foundation in electrical engineering principles and a proven ability to apply them to practical projects. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've cultivated a diverse skillset, encompassing 3D printing, circuit design, project management, and data management, all fueled by my passion for STEM.

• 3D Printing: My expertise in 3D printing extends beyond simply operating machines. I've managed and maintained fleets of 3D printers, both as a contractor for Violett UV Air Purification and as a student staff member at the University of Washington Collaboratory. My proficiency lies in troubleshooting, repairing, upgrading, and optimizing 3D printers for maximum efficiency and precision. I am also adept at using Fusion 360 to design custom parts, crafting custom gcode to refine printing accuracy, and optimizing printer profiles for seamless integration with slicing software like Ultimaker Cura. This comprehensive understanding of 3D printing technology allows me to effectively bridge the gap between design and physical creation.
  
  

• Circuit Design and Electrical Systems: My academic background in Computer Engineering, coupled with hands-on experience in various projects, has solidified my skills in circuit design and electrical systems. I'm well-versed in using oscilloscopes, power supplies, and multimeters to design, test, and troubleshoot circuits. I have practical experience integrating a wide range of electrical components, including resistors, capacitors, transistors, and microcontrollers, into functional circuits. Notable projects that showcase my circuit design skills include building replica Formula One steering wheels with intricate electrical systems, designing and fabricating an electrical box for a Mars rover, and developing an auto-ranging ohmmeter with a custom PCB.
  
  

• Project Management and Leadership: I have consistently sought opportunities to lead and collaborate within teams. As Vice President of the Electric Motorsports club at the University of Washington Bothell, I was responsible for managing the club's finances, outreach efforts, and sponsor communications. I spearheaded the design and construction of electric vehicles for competitive events like the EVGrandPrix and Shell Eco Marathon, working closely with a team of engineering students. My experience in these roles has instilled in me the importance of clear communication, effective delegation, and maintaining a cohesive team dynamic to achieve shared goals.
  
  

• Data Management and Automation: I've honed my data management skills through my internship at Alaska Airlines and through personal projects. During my internship, I worked with Microsoft Power Automate, Power Apps, and Tableau to automate critical team reports, optimize spreadsheets, and enhance data storage efficiency. My ability to identify areas for improvement and implement practical solutions using these tools has significantly streamlined workflows and boosted productivity.
  
  

• Aviation Enthusiast and Licensed Pilot: My passion for STEM extends to the realm of aviation. I hold an FAA Private Pilot’s License with a high-performance endorsement, earned at the age of 17. This achievement underscores my dedication to rigorous training, understanding of aviation regulations, and commitment to safety. My experience flying aircraft equipped with advanced avionics systems has further enhanced my technical understanding and problem-solving abilities.
