I am a third year undergraduate student at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. I study electrical engineering, and I am currently a Lead Technician at the UCLA Makerspace and a Student Instructor for the UCLA School of Engineering.
My resume is available upon request!
I'm currently pursuing my bachelor's degree and expected to graduate in June of 2026. My major is Electrical Engineering with a Computer Science tech breadth.
I am interested in a wide range of engineering topics ranging from machine learning to semiconductor manufacturing to lasers and photonics. I have industry experience in simulating high-speed VCSELs (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) using multimode and singlemode fibers over a range of distances in full optical links for Coherent Corp as an engineering intern.
As a Student Instructor for UCLA's School of Engineering, I teach an introduction to machine learning class (E1 ML), where students learn the basics of machine learning Python, and PyTorch. I create and present curriculum geared towards familiarizing fellow undergraduates with basic ML topics, and the class culminates in a final project where students must create a neural network trained on the NMIST dataset that correctly identifies handwritten numbers.
Outside of electrical engineering, I have many years of experience with CAD programs, manual and CNC machines (mills, lathes, and routers), and different types of 3D printers (FDM, SLA, and SLS). I am familiar with CAD programs such as Solidworks, Autodesk Fusion 360, and OnShape, and I use said CAD programs for CAM programming. As a Makerspace technician, I use these skills to assist users in completing their personal projects with a variety of tools and machines. I regularly run 3D printers, laser cutters, woodworking and metalworking machines, and several soft goods machines.
I am also a Publicity and Design Member for QWERHacks, UCLA's queer hackathon geared towards embracing the intersection of the queer community and tech, celebrating inclusivity, and working to better support marginalized communities. I designed our PCB badges, stickers, website assets, and more!
