Fry’s Electronics San Jose, CA (Retail Store) Feb 2009 – Dec 2011 Computer Sales
• Ensure that each customer receives outstanding service by providing a friendly environment, which includes greeting and acknowledging every customer, maintaining solid product knowledge and all other aspects of customer service. PROJECTS:
• Orthopedic Cast (Senior Design Project) Sept 2015 – Jun 2016 o Created a premade cast that is lightweight, rigid and hygienic which also reduces application and cure time. o Used SolidWorks to design the 3D-printed shell of the cast. o Attempted to start-up a company by
• ECG (Electrocardiography)
o Constructed an ECG device using an instrumentation amplifier and bandpass filter, filtering out noise artifacts in order to accurately diagnose the patient's heart condition
o Built a cost-effective circuit design, operating with only 100 dollars worth of equipment (e.g. resistors, capacitors, op-amps, wires) - the nominal value of an ECG is $5000.
• Pulse Oximeter/Heart Rate Monitor
o Produced an application that monitors and displays a person’s heart-rate and blood oxygen concentration using an Arduino board, his / her finger and several LED lights.
o Used LabView Interface for Arduino to process data and show results to a file. SKILLS:
• Knowledge of programming languages such as:
o LabView, MatLab, 3D CAD (SolidWorks, COMSOL)
• Molecular biology: genomic PCR, RT-PCR, gel electrophoresis, and pipetting.
