Work Experience
FORCES
May 2021-August 2021
In the summer of 2021, I was involved in research regarding the Battle of 73 Easting, a key battle in the Gulf War. During this time, I built a React web application from scratch to provide visual aid on the analysis of this battle. To do this, I wrote scripts that parsed data aggregated from dozens of military and historical sources using the SheetJS library. I then used the Leaflet library to construct a visualization of war movements. To create the most optimal and efficient user interface for displaying relevant information in real time, I developed a series of wireframes that slowly evolved into the layout I have today. This research project furthered my knowledge on using third party libraries and allowed me to use my web development skills for a technical project for others. I learned a lot about how to efficiently structure user interfaces and utilizing Javascript libraries.
Berkeley Engineering and Research, inc.
May 2017-July 2017
In the summer of 2017, I interned at a forensic engineering company called Berkeley Engineering and Research, inc. That summer, BEAR had numerous ongoing projects. I was fortunate enough to play an integral role in a number of important developments, including testing the amount of gasoline vapor in gas cans, measuring the voltage of e-cigarette batteries, and even testing how much pressure it takes to make a blender blow up. Although there were many more court cases that I contributed to, I enjoyed 3-D printing and circuit soldering the most. I was able to build relationships with mentors who were incredibly knowledgable in many areas of science, whom I learned much from. This experience gave me hands-on experience with a multitude of different disciplines, such as electricity, chemistry, and physics.
Camptoons
Summer 2015, 2016, 2018
Camptoons is at a six-week summer day camp at my church. During the summers I would volunteer as a camp counselor, where I taught rising fifth graders (2015) and rising second graders (2016). I worked with my fellow counselors in organizing daily field trips and crafting interactive bible lessons for the children. I gained leadership and patience through this experience, along with building strong relationships with my fellow counselors through this experience. In the summer of 2018, I took a C++ programming course at my local city college, so I did not have time to become a full-time counselor. However, I still wanted to help out and work with the kids, so I volunteered as after-care staff.
Hanson Robotics
June 2015
During the summer before my freshman year of high school, I had an internship opportunity with a robotics company based in Hong Kong called Hanson Robotics. Hanson Robotics specialized in creating life-like robots. In preparation for this opportunity, I learned Python and a little Blender for 3-D modelling. I had hands-on experience helping to build a prototype robot that was designed to deal cards at a casino. This included fitting pieces into hard to reach places on the robot, attaching motors into the 3-D printed skull for facial expressions, and assisting in the development of integrated suction motors that allowed the robot to shuffle and spin cards.
