THE MYSTERY OF THE GARDENS
Walt Disney Imagineering
2019 Imaginations Competition (Semifinalist)
As part of the 2019 Disney Imaginations competition, a team of three students and I worked to "create an experience that explores and shares [one of the 7 wonders of the world] safely for a wide range of guests, at or near the original presumed location". Our project went on to win a semifinalist (top 12) position amongst hundreds of entries from students from around the world.
MECHANICAL POP-UP TENT
Oceas, LLC
During my time as a product engineer at Oceas (a startup outdoor product company), I focused exclusively on the production of a lightweight pop-up tent for hikers featuring state-of-the-art and entirely novel mechanisms. A team of three fellow engineers and I developed the product through all stages of creation, including research, ideation, CAD modeling, prototyping, manufacturing, and testing. Unfortunately, I cannot yet share details or drawings of the product.
SENIOR MECHATRONICS CAPSTONE
UCLA Mechanical Engineering (2019)
As part of my senior curriculum, a team of four engineering students and I created a self-navigating object pickup-and-transport robot. We successfully utilized principles in systems control, circuit design, FEA, 3D printing, CNC, and computer-aided design to create a unique and useful robot.
SIP-A-BOWL
UCLA Mechanical Engineering (2018)
As part of the Computer Aided Design and Drafting class at UCLA, a team of two students and I sketched, drafted, and 3D printed a new type of consumer kitchen utensil, a sip-a-bowl. Utilizing SolidWorks and creating engineering drawings to accompany our project, my team and I successfully developed and prototyped a product utilizing engineering methods.
INTEL EDISON SMART IMAGE-RECOGNITION ROBOT
UCLA Mechanical Enginering (2016)
A team of three students and I created an image-recognition robot utilizing the Intel Edison board and Google Vision API. The device was capable of making a wireless communication with the Google API, identifying objects based on camera footage, and speaking aloud its prediction of the object's identity (water bottle, cactus, etc.) using a bluetooth speaker.
DISCRETE LOGIC DUAL TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM
UCLA Electrical Engineering (2017)
As part of our curriculum for an electronic circuits class, two students and I created a discrete logic traffic light system utilizing circuit and breadboarding basics. LED's, a 555 timer IC, diodes, and other components were used to create a simple timing system within strict constraints.
