experience 💼

Autopilot Software Engineer at Tesla

Jan 2024

  • AI Embedded OS Team

Product Software Engineer (Firmware/Features) Intern at Cisco Meraki

Sep 2023 - Dec 2023

  • MX Routing + VPN Team
  • Improved IPv6 capabilities in Meraki MX by developing configurable prefix options, router advertisement, and neighbor advertisement configurations, significantly contributing to passing 7 individual USGv6 tests
  • Contributed to scripting for the automation and drivers of the application conducting USGv6 tests, aiding in the successful completion of more than 18 tests in total

Embedded Software Engineer Intern at Qualcomm

Jun 2023 - Sep 2023

  • Connectivity Systems Test Team - IOT
  • Performed WLAN interoperability testing to identify and diagnose failures, utilizing host drivers, ping tests, and firmware log analysis as well as tools like Wireshark, thereby ensuring Qualcomm’s WLAN chip's compliance with 802.11 standards
  • Enhanced WLAN interoperability testing efficiency and scalability through the automation (Python) of packet sniffers, attenuators, Tx/Rx stats, soft AP simulation, power distribution units, and programmable USB hubs

Part-time Software Engineer Intern at JPL

Nov 2022 - Apr 2023

  • Flight Electronics Section
  • Helped develop a software for a spectrometer's camera sensor (OV5640) for planetary oceanic analysis by understanding its microcontroller, testing I2C driver registers to modify sensor’s settings, and analyzing code from other space projects (C/C++)
  • Developed an image processing script (Python) to effectively convert raw 10-bit Bayer sensor data into RGB (Red, Green, Blue) images, allowing engineers to analyze captured spectral data in space for in-depth and comparative analysis

Product Software Engineer (Firmware/Features) Intern at Cisco Meraki

Sep 2022 - Dec 2023

  • MR Speedy Team
  • Implemented a Power-On-Self-Test (POST) script to ensure Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliance on Meraki's MR WLAN Access Points, specifically targeting encryption and decryption tests for Qualcomm Atheros radio drivers
  • Added modular firmware code (C) to simplify the triggering of POST and inform users of its results in the Meraki Dashboard
  • Analyzed and helped resolve issues in the hostapd module of MR firmware (C) to ensure compliance with the FIPS guidelines

Software Engineer Intern at Western Digital

Jun 2022 - Sep 2022

  • Test Process Engineering Team
  • Optimized hard drive testing by improving an algorithm (TCL) to execute tests in parallel, speeding up test execution and focusing on WD's new parallel hard drives, while also conducting unit and bench tests (C++) to verify the algorithm
  • Implemented a new compression (C++) feature using Zstandard in WD’s test processing operations, resulting in a reduced testing time by more 50% while keeping data intact compared to the currently used algorithm, Bzip2

Undergraduate Research Assistant at UCLA Laboratory for Embedded Machines and Ubiquitous Robots

Jun 2022 - Sep 2022

  • Fabricated printable origami robots using computational design (Python) to enhance public accessibility to robots and assisted in the programming (C/C++) of soft robots to increase robots’ environment adaptability
  • Integrated an embedded system with microcontrollers (ESP32) and sensors (Lidar, IMU, Camera) in the origami robots for actuation, feedback control through distance/vision processing, and mesh networking (C/C++)
