Experience
Outside Open
Dec 2024 — Present
Part-Time Junior Developer
  • Creating a wall-mounted, decorative device that displays real-time traffic conditions in the greater Los Angeles area using over 400 SMD LEDs on an exposed PCB.
  • Leading firmware development for an ESP32 using Espressif's SDK, ESP-IDF.
  • Revising hardware using Kicad and exporting gerber files and BOMs for production.
  • Writing a HAL to synchronize and abstract I2C interaction to four LED matrix drivers.
  • Utilizing FreeRTOS tasks through the use of synchronization primitives such as mutexes.
  • Managing OTA updates and supporting multiple firmware and hardware versions.
  • Developing manual and unit tests to verify correct hardware and firmware behavior.
  • Implementing data structures such as a circular buffer, which removed the need for dynamic memory allocation when parsing HTTPS responses.

University of California, Berkeley
Aug 2023 — Dec 2023
Academic Intern
  • Guided students through course projects covering C, GDB, RISC-V assembly, CPU design in Logisim, and parallelism with OpenMP and OpenMPI during office hours in CS61C.
  • Tutored a group of 10-20 students in Python, SQL, and Scheme during lab in CS61A.

RRB Construction
Mar 2021 — Jun 2022
Office Assistant
  • Created software in Java to automate data entry and analysis in Excel that saved tens of manhours each week while working as an office assistant and on-site in residential construction.

Santa Barbara City College
Jun 2021 — May 2022
Teaching Assistant
  • Tutored peers in small groups of 1-5 people in Python, Java, and Data Structures & Algorithms.
  • Hosted office hours to individually advise students and debug programs.
  • Led midterm review sessions to solidify student understanding of course material.

SBCC Team Programming Club
Jan 2021 — May 2022
Club President
  • Organized club competitions, mock interviews, and discussions of select topics including dynamic programming, convex hulls, graphs, and applications of hashmaps.
  • Competed in the ICPC Southern California region, placing first in junior colleges both years.
Projects
Jan 2023 — Jul 2024
Personal Project
  • Created a device that displays the RISC assembly instructions in the flash memory content of MSP430 microcontrollers through the use of a custom driver for the JTAG debugging interface.
  • Used register-level C programming to create a UART hardware abstraction layer.
  • Overcame design challenges while writing a disassembler library to offer a convenient and efficient API for converting machine code extracted via JTAG to assembly instructions.
  • Implemented interrupt service routines to debounce button input using the timer peripheral.
  • Minimized MCU power draw through the use of low power modes while waiting for user input.
  • Routed a PCB in Kicad to ease development and create a finished product, then soldered through-hole and surface mount components using a soldering iron, heat gun, and flux.

Aug 2023 — Dec 2023
CS162 Class Project
  • Collaborated in a group of 4 students to design and implement critical features of the Pintos operating system including many system calls, scheduling, multithreading, and a filesystem.
  • Researched, designed, and enabled use of the floating-point unit in multi-process systems through use of inline x86 assembly floating point state instructions.
  • Led the implementation of user multithreading from design to component creation and programming of necessary changes to previously created process control system calls.
  • Added support for filesystem subdirectories and designed an efficient solution for path parsing.
