EDUCATION

- University of California, San Diego

- Master of Science, Electrical Engineering- Intelligent Systems, Robotics, and Control December 2022

- Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering, Depth in Machine Learning, Major GPA: 3.6 December 2021 WORK EXPERIENCE

- Nuevo Foundation- Software Intern June 2020 to September 2020

- Developed Image recognition model and neural network in a team setting using Python, Tensorflow and MNIST dataset with over 95% accuracy

- Designed Machine Learning workshop for 150+ middle and high school students nationwide

- Initiated 4 pull requests and resolved 5+ issues on Github, successfully merged workshop with website PROJECTS

- Donkey AI - Engineer August 2020 to September 2020

- Built AI car model with Python, Tensorflow, and Reinforcement Learning- Double Deep Q Predictions

- Implemented OpenCV to detect center of the road- used the max Q prediction to make the car stay on track, achieved over 90% accuracy after training the RL model

- While simulating the car on race track, used OpenCV to capture 15000+ images (20 images/second) while controlling the car physically, fed data into model. Trained model went 10-15% faster around track.

- Trained model with NVIDIA GPU cluster by connecting remotely using Linux, 2x number of epochs used and reduced run time by 95%.

- IEEE - Project lead and engineer November 2018 to June 2019

- Designed motor driver circuit of line following car on PCB with EAGLE, reduced PCB footprint by 40%

- Used Autodesk Inventor to design/ 3D print mount for line scan camera, saved 15% of allocated time

- Operated Laser cutter to make a plate to hold the battery, motor driver circuit, and Arduino onto chassis

- Utilized Arduino to optimize PID Controls, PWM control and calibrating adjustments on track

- Calculator using FPGA - Engineer March 2020

- Designed a calculator with team member that performs arithmetic operations displayed on seven segment display based on inputted number values from a universal remote

- Implemented 4 bit adder RTL design in Verilog for FPGA

- Used Control S, I2C and SPI protocols to determine the Digital Codes of the Remote to use in Verilog

- Used the data sheet of the remote for the generated signal, and used oscilloscope to ensure consistency

- Designed an IR Circuit to detect the remote signal and used Verilog to light up corresponding segments LEADERSHIP
