About Me?

Recent graduate from the University of California Santa Cruz with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering: Robotics & Control. During my time at Santa Cruz, I balanced my time between my degree and being a integral member of the national runner up men's volleyball program. I am looking to combine my academic knowledge with my team first mentality to an entry level robotics engineering position. Please use this website that I have built to explore my various internships, coursework and projects. Feel free to contact me using any of the methods at the bottom of the page.

My Experience

  • 2020 - Electrical Engineer

    Multibeam is the leading innovator of Multicolumn E-Beam Lithography (MEBL). At the heart of the company’s proprietary MEBL technology is a miniaturized e-beam column (6 inches high; 1 inch diameter). The column owes its compact size to an innovative all-electrostatic design that eliminates the large magnetic coils required in traditional e-beam columns.
    Company - Multibeam Corp
    Duration - 2 Months
    Location - Santa Clara, California

  • 2020 - Web Developer

    Modernizing and optimizing outdated websites to clearly convey information across desktop and mobile browsers. This is done through a combination of programming (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) and graphic design tools (Photoshop).
    Company - Wencor
    Duration - 2 Months
    Location - Glendale, California

  • 2019 - Head Beach Volleyball Coach

    Technical: Created an automated system capable of pulling information from a google form, creating a schedule and keeping track of attendance for drop in sessions of all players in the program. This was accomplished through google forms, google sheets and custom macros for the sheets.
    Coaching: Coached several girls beach volleyball teams of various skill levels and ages.
    Company - Mountain View Volleyball Club
    Duration - 4 Months
    Location - Mountain View, California

  • 2018 - Lead Instructor

    Led a class of 30-40 students from the age of 8-12. Taught students proper and safe use of various power tools as they engineered their very own Go Karts.
    Mentored two interns tasked with assisting me to further the experience and learning of the campers.
    Company - Saratoga Gallileo Summer Camp
    Duration - 4 Months
    Location - Saratoga, California

  • 2017 - Lead Instructor

    Led a class of 20-30 students from 1st to 8th grade in pursuing different aspects of engineering. Specific programs include 3D printing, Minecraft, Scratch programming, game design and various other courses.
    Taught the physics and material side of mechanical, power and circuitry side of electrical, the link between software and mechanical engineering to accomplish a goal using robotic engineering, and the architectural thought process behind software engineering.
    Tools Taught: K’nex prototyping, safe electrical handling skills, LEGO Mindstorm , scratch programming, and java programming.
    Company - Engineering For Kids
    Duration - 4 Months
    Location - San Jose, California

  • 2017 - Mechanical & Networking Engineer

    Mechanical: Created 30 specialized tools used to dismantle and assemble hundreds of unique parts for companies such as Southwest, United, FedEx, UPS, Ect. Schematics for these tools were created in AutoDesk and used by machinists to create the tools out of steel.
    Networking: Set up a physical internal network that allowed 50 workers to electronically access a central database of manuals, forms, spreadsheets and files. As of 2019 this network is still in use and has been scaled to fit the now 80+ workers within the company.
    Company - Fortner Engineering
    Duration - 8 Months
    Location - Glendale, California

My Education

  • Bachelor of Science: Computer Engineering - Robotics & Control

    School - The University of California Santa Cruz
    Duration - September 2015 - December 2019

  • Relevant Coursework: Robotics

    Mechatronics - Technologies involved in mechatronics and techniques necessary to integrate these technologies into mechatronic systems. Topics include electronics, software program design, DC and stepper motors, basic sensing, and basic mechanical design.
    Bio-Inspired Locomotion - Presents the principles of biological locomotion and application to robotics problems. Students learn about effective movements in the biological world; extract their underlying principles; and apply them creatively to robotics design through an indepth research paper.
    Feedback & Control Systems - Analysis and design of continuous linear feedback control systems. Essential principles and advantages of feedback. Design by root locus, frequency response, and state space methods and comparisons of these techniques.
    Signals & Systems - Characterization and analysis of continuous-time signals and linear systems, time domain analysis using convolution, frequency domain analysis using the Fourier series and the Fourier transform, the Laplace transform, transfer functions and block diagrams, continuous-time filters, sampling of continuous time signals, examples of applications to communications and control systems.

  • Relevant Coursework: Programming

    Computer Systems & C Language - C programming language as a means for controlling embedded and general computing systems.
    Assembly Language - Assembly language and how computers compute in hardware and software. Topics include digital logic, number systems, data structures, compiling/assembly process, basics of system software, and computer architecture.
    Data Structures & Algorithms - Studies algorithms and their relationships to common abstract data types. Covers the notions of abstract data types and the distinction between an abstract data type and an implementation of that data type. The complexity analysis of common algorithms using asymptotic (big "O") notation is emphasized. Topics include sorting and searching techniques, basic graph algorithms, and algorithm design techniques. Abstract data types covered include priority queues, dictionaries, disjoint sets, heaps, balanced trees, and hashing.

  • Relevant Coursework: Hardware

    Computer Architeture - Computer architecture including examples of current approaches and the effect of technology and software. Computer performance evaluation, basic combinatorial and sequential digital components, different instruction set architectures with a focus on the MIPS ISA and RISC paradigm. Evolution of CPU microarchitecture from single-cycle to multi-cycle pipelines, with overview of super-scalar, multiple-issue and VLIW. Memory system, cache, virtual memory and relationship between memory and performance.
    Electronics Circuits - Circuit theorems, constant and sinusoidal inputs, natural and forced response of linear circuits. Introduction to circuit/network design, maximum power transfer, analog filters, and circuit analysis using Matlab. Topics in elementary electronics including amplifiers and feedback.
