Experience

Diamond Ranch High School, Pomona, CA Academic Tutor Jan. 2015—May 2018

● Conducted sessions with students of grades 9-12 on various math courses (Algebra I to Calculus)

● Utilized pre-existing and self-constructed modules and lesson plans to improve students' problem solving and mathematical reasoning skills

● Worked alongside groups and organizations such as the DRHS Math Club, California Scholastic Federation

(CSF), and the National Honors Society (NHS)

Software Design Projects

Game Tree Algorithm Design: Tic-Tac Toe Game & A.I.

● Created nodes representing various game states of Tic-Tac-Toe, each containing a board (with inputted position values) and a subtree of child nodes detailing future moves

● Employed the MiniMax algorithm to create an AI that would always pick the ideal move from the subtree of child nodes, through the use of game tree traversals and recursive calls

● Utilized functions to properly display user input to the board by using conditional statements (e.g. if/else blocks) and iterative commands (e.g for, while loops) Object-Oriented Program: Evite Project

● Employed the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern to develop a multi-class program mimicking the Evite invitation system, allowing users to view, edit, and host party events with help from an user-friendly menu

● Implemented concepts of polymorphism and encapsulation through class hierarchies, interfaces, and enumerations

● Recorded input from text files and user interface into Java collections

● Wrote data to output files with the use of scanner and print writer tools Biomedical Application: Receptor-Ligand Kinetics Model

● Designed a function in MATLAB that contained differential equations mimicking the effects of nicotine exposure on an intracellular system

● Employed iterative commands (e.g. for loops) and the Runge-Kutta Method for solving systems of differential equations to determine ligand concentrations at different points of the cellular model

● Plotted the drug concentrations at different times (using plot, legend, and other graphing commands) to clearly track impact of drug exposure on cellular receptors Robotics Design: Line-Following Car

● Constructed a line-following machine that scanned nearby light values using potentiometers and photoresistors calibrated to set light sensitivity values

● Programmed (in C++) an Arduino microcontroller to assess light values and move when the desired brightness requirements were met

● Custom designed and 3D-printed a unique chassis for the car’s exterior using SolidWorks Technical Skills

Software

● Experienced in C++, C, Java, Python, and MATLAB coding languages

● Proficient in Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, Powerpoint), Google Suite, Git, and SolidWorks
