Experience

Apple | Health Technologies R&D Engineering Co-Op

  • Built a Python image analysis library with 11 modules, handling preprocessing of RAW & Apple-internal image formats in addition to leveraging color science & OpenCV to evaluate the colorimetric performance of multiple image processing pipelines in development
  • Abstracted complex image analysis workflows into two simple CLI tools for end-user accessibility
  • Refactored codebase to reduce analysis time by ~98% during multi-region analysis per image
  • Assembled portable fixture and wrote controls library utilizing OOP & coroutines for a linear actuator to enable various potential human studies in a new lab, saving the team $100k+ in equipment cost
  • Integrated linear actuator and robotic arm programs with scripted image collection and streamlined data offloading, sorting, parsing, & reconfiguring to reduce human study visit time by ~33%
  • Lead repo collaboration using git branches, standardized module documentation, and readable code
  • Managed human study logistics, visit execution, and data labeling to provide a ML classification model test set, along with assisting in FA to pinpoint specific data needs for model aggressors

Abbott | Mechanical R&D Engineering Co-Op

  • Product & process development for a novel pacemaker, involving header, mold, fixture, and seal design
  • Supported execution and documentation of DV, TMV, IQ, OQ, DOE, etc. for ICD manufacturing processes
  • Performed 3D X-ray CT scans on devices to investigate device failures and validate relevant dimensions

Cal Poly - Dr. Long Wang | Project Lead, Corona-Enabled Electrostatic Printing Sensors

  • Directed project scope & workflow and trained new team members on necessary experimental equipment
  • Processed images of microscopically-captured piezoresistive sensor microstructures in MATLAB
  • Investigated sensor piezoresistivity via FEA on deformed carbon nanotube microstructures
  • Used MATLAB algorithms to statistically reconstruct microstructures for a more extensive data set

Cal Poly - ME Department | Instructional Student Assistant

  • Graded for Introduction to Detailed Design with Solid Modeling, Dynamics, & Intermediate Dynamics
