I’m an early-career Electrical Engineer who enjoys learning quickly, working across disciplines, and turning engineering problems into practical solutions.
While I’m early in my career, I’ve learned how to step into unfamiliar problems, understand what needs to be done, and adapt as a project develops. I’m comfortable learning new tools, troubleshooting when something does not work as expected, and working with teammates from different technical backgrounds.
Team projects have also taught me when to lead, when to listen, and how to take ownership of my part of a larger system. I enjoy coordinating ideas, communicating technical decisions, and helping move a project from an initial concept to a tested result.
I’m looking for an entry-level engineering role where I can contribute from day one, learn from experienced engineers, take on increasing responsibility, and continue developing into a well-rounded engineer.
Get up to speed quickly on new tools, systems, requirements, and technical challenges.
Work across mechanical, electrical, and embedded disciplines while communicating clearly with the team.
Take ownership, troubleshoot problems, validate results, and help move the project toward a working solution.
UCSC SENIOR CAPSTONE
A multidisciplinary engineering project combining mechanical motion, embedded control, electrical systems, water delivery, and performance testing to automate residential solar-panel cleaning.
Mechanical Subsystem
Embedded Systems
Electrical Subsystem
Residential solar panels can lose power output as dirt and debris accumulate on the panel surface. Our capstone research identified losses of up to 25% under these conditions, creating a need for a cleaning system that could maintain panel performance without repeated manual cleaning.
Design an affordable, safe, autonomous cleaning system capable of removing dirt and debris from a residential solar panel while coordinating controlled water delivery, mechanical wiping, and automated motion.
The system needed to complete repeatable cleaning cycles, return to its home position, and improve solar-panel power generation after cleaning.
I was responsible for the mechanical subsystem and led its development from concept through integration and testing.
I designed the 64-inch lead-screw cleaning mechanism, integrated the NEMA 23 stepper motor and limit switches, developed the silicone-wiper assembly, and built the water-delivery system using a 12 V pump and four-nozzle spray bar.
I also supported subsystem integration, validation testing, and project scheduling using Microsoft Project.
WORKING PROTOTYPE
Full-system demonstration showing the cleaning mechanism operating on the solar panel.
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS PROJECT
A hands-free drawing interface inspired by VR tools, translating hand movement and finger gestures into real-time cursor, drawing, eraser, and color controls.
Traditional computer drawing depends on a mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen. Our team wanted to explore a more natural hands-free interface inspired by drawing tools used in virtual-reality environments.
The challenge was translating several different physical hand inputs into responsive computer controls without making the interface difficult to use.
Build a wearable interface capable of controlling a live drawing canvas using hand movement and finger gestures.
I contributed to integrating the glove’s hardware inputs with the embedded and desktop-side software needed to create the working drawing interface.
I worked with the STM32-based system and C/C++ input processing while helping connect the IMU, flex sensor, piezo sensor, and rotary encoder to the Python/Pygame drawing canvas.
I also supported system testing and refinement as the team combined the individual sensor functions into one responsive prototype.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Sensor inputs are processed by the STM32 and transmitted to the desktop application where Python/Pygame updates the drawing canvas.
WORKING PROTOTYPE
The final prototype successfully combined motion tracking, mode switching, eraser scaling, and color selection into a real-time drawing interface.
A practical engineering toolkit spanning embedded systems, electrical hardware, controls, design, prototyping, testing, and technical delivery.
Build sensor-driven embedded systems and supporting desktop tools, from device-level input processing to Python-based interfaces.
Work across circuits, power, sensing, control logic, and hardware integration to make engineering systems behave as intended.
Translate requirements into CAD, assemblies, and physical prototypes through rapid iteration and hands-on fabrication.
Debug, measure, document, and coordinate engineering work using structured testing, technical communication, and project planning.
I’m looking for an entry-level engineering role where I can contribute, learn quickly, and grow alongside experienced teams.
I’m especially interested in electrical engineering, embedded systems, hardware, controls, test, and system integration opportunities in the Los Angeles area.
If your team is building something challenging, I’d love to be part of it.
