Robotics Instructor • Sept 2023-Dec 2023
Taught 4-8th grade robotics classes including engineering and software labs. Students were taught Scratch, Python, and various basic physics principles, and implemented engineering designing principles. Used REV & LEGO Robotics for education and competition purposes.
Mathematics Instructor • July 2023-Sept 2023
Collaborated to make comprehensive K-8 math lesson plans with varying degrees of difficulty, tailored
to individual grades and areas of math; helped to streamline file storage & organization.
IREC Software Engineer• 2021-2022
Helped to design and produce a working flight computer for BURPG Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition team. The flight computer consisted of various Adafruit products and a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller. Conducted unit testing and debugging to ensure the reliability and performance of the software. The computer controlled ejection charges, telemetry recording and transmitting, and parachute deployment.
Captain • October 2017 - June 2021
During my time as captain, my team has done various volunteer events, including working with a local boy scouts' troop, having a talk with a First Lego League Junior team, and teaching them about the fun that has yet to come for them. Also, my team attended the county finals my first year as captain, the farthest a Lynbrook team has ever reached in FTC. I had an amazing opportunity to guide and support my team members as they worked together to design, build, and program our robot.
Webmaster • September 2019 - June 2021
Worked with my school's Key Club through my junior and senior year on various fundraisers. As webmaster, my role on the Key Club board is to manage all things regarding any online events. This included planning and coordinatating the logistics of the event, such as scheduling, scheduling, and setting up online platforms.
Varsity Player • September 2019 - June 2021
Expertise in programming & coding, solution design, project management, software testing,
product development, machine learning, and front end design.
Technical skills: JavaScript, Java, Python, C, C++, CSS/HTML, x86 Assembly, OCaml, & Linux
I had the opportunity to lead the development of the EasyNote extension, a innovative tool designed to help students study more efficiently. This chrome extension takes a YouTube video and generates a comprehensive study guide using the AssemblyAI API and Google Docs API. Working with a team of two other developers, we utilized a combination of python, Node.js, and HTML to bring this project to life. Our hard work paid off, as EasyNote was a division winning project at the BostonHacks Hackathon. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of its creation.
Application Design, Project ManagementI worked with a team to use scikit-learn and pandas to analyze a data set and extract insights. During the project, I attended data science and software engineering seminars and learned the fundamental concepts of machine learning, including data visualization, data preparation, model implementation, and model evaluation. This was a valuable opportunity for me to learn more about machine learning and apply it to real-world problems.
Machine Learning, Model implementationI contributed to the design and production of a flight computer for the Boston University Rocket Propulsion Group IREC team. This flight computer was an integral part of the rocket, and was responsible for controlling various functions such as ejection charges, telemetry recording and transmitting, and parachute deployment. The flight computer was built using a variety of Adafruit products and a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller.
Computer EngineeringAs the CTO of a Virtual Enterprise class, I created a mock-up for our company, Checkmate, using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe XD. Our team's hard work paid off when we placed first in a virtual enterprise social media competition that year. The mock-up served as a blueprint for the development of our business idea and helped us to visualize and plan out the details of our virtual enterprise. It was an exciting and rewarding experience to see our ideas come to life through the mock-up and to ultimately achieve success in the competition.
UI DesignChatGPTInsta was created to allow users to use AI generated posts to streamline their social media presence. everaging my expertise in front-end development, I built an intuitive and visually appealing user interface using React.js, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience. By connecting it to ChatGPT through Python, users can input prompts and receive AI-generated captions, hashtags, and post descriptions. In the future, users will be able to schedule their generated posts for automatic publishing on Instagram, eliminating the need for manual posting
UI Design, Application DesignFeel free to email me at any time. I'd be happy to share my work with you and discuss any opportunities that may be a good fit for both of us. I look forward to hearing from you!
