SpaceX

• Improved modeling software to streamline engineers' workflows and improve productivity.
• Investigated performance issues with Hardware-Out-Of-The-Loop tests and worked with engineers to make fixes.
• Developed a linter tool to help avoid runtime errors as a result of improper model setup.
• Analyzed algorithm performance and introduced targeted optimizations.
• Debugged physics models and implemented changes to improve the correctness of simulations.

Tesla

• Debugged, maintained, and wrote automated tests and supporting code to improve test coverage and reliability.
• Reviewed automated test results to confirm there were no vehicle behavior regressions.
• Worked with developers and integration engineers to reproduce bugs, validate bug fixes, and test new features.
• Brought up automated testing for multiple new vehicle platforms which was then used to run dozens of nightly tests.
• Wrote firmware for a new tester that allowed for the use of fewer boards, reducing the number of points of failure.
• Developed software to detect hardware failures in the test setup allowing for quicker fixes and greater uptime.

University of Minnesota Solar Vehicle Project

Director of Engineering

• Responsible for running the weekly officer meeting, biweekly team meeting, and for attending each sub-team meeting.
• Coordinate over 50 engineering students spread between five sub-teams to make sure that work is completed on time.
• Oversee the completion of the team's fourteenth car and design of the fifteenth, making sure that requirements are met.
• Perform operational tasks as needed, including meeting with university faculty and organizing in-person work sessions.

Electrical Engineer

• Collaborated with team members to architect system level behavior and prioritize development and testing tasks.
• Implemented basic hardware-in-the-loop testing to test a boards behavior on CAN by simulating data from other boards.
• Designed a PCB using Altium Designer to interface with sensors and log data to an SD card.
• Fixed bugs and implemented new functionality for multiple boards in the car and validated changes.
• Implemented a physics simulation to calculate energy usage, allowing for the analysis of different race strategies.
• Wrote an algorithm to optimize driving speed for each stage of the race, leading to energy savings of up to 12.3%.
• Initiated a project to acquire weather and power to drive data in order to improve the accuracy of our predictive models.
• Created visualizations for telemetry data to give better warnings and include information on real-time solar array power.

Engineering Team Member

• Competed in the 2021 Formula Sun Grand Prix and American Solar Challenge where I worked on electrical systems.
• Spent hundreds of hours working to complete carbon fiber and fiberglass composite layups for the car's body.
• Traveled to Australia for two months to work on the car and race in the 2019 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge.

Vital Images, Inc.

Software Engineer Intern

• Developed an application to help customers avoid issues installing software by first verifying server configuration.
• Utilized .NET Core for this development to determine its viability for use in the company's other products and software.

Software Engineer Intern

• Configured, deployed, and documented the process of using Docker containers to run web servers for different services.
• Wrote an API for internal use that allowed for the storage and modification of ElastAlert rules and custom alerts.
• Built a user interface using React to help customers create and manage rules for monitoring their servers.

University of Minnesota Department of Computer Science

• Assisted students in a weekly lab that applied material covered in the previous week's lecture.
• Held weekly office hours where students could ask questions, get help with homework, and turn in lab work.
