Robotics Systems Intern
NASA Ames Research Center
·
Mountain View, CA
Jun 2026 — Aug 2026
- Selected for an internship at NASA with the Intelligent Robotics Group focused on micro-rover hazard detection, sensor evaluation, rover integration, and robotics systems support.
Software Engineering Intern
ChipChop (Berkeley SkyDeck)
·
Berkeley, CA
Jan 2026 — May 2026
- Built a benchmarking tool in Python to evaluate and compare AI models on code generation tasks; used automated simulation to score outputs and track pass rates across 3 providers
- Developed a memory system that persists project context across sessions for a multi-agent AI coding assistant; covered with 29 automated tests
- Refactored 9 AI agents to support swappable model backends (cloud and local); built setup automation and API key management so engineers could switch providers without touching config files
Research Intern (NSF REU)
Virginia Tech
·
Grenoble, France
Jun 2025 — Aug 2025
- Collected household energy consumption data via 10+ Arduino-based sensors (C++) and parsed 120+ CSV profiles in Python for replay through a grid emulator, automating configuration across 30+ test scenarios
- Built MQTT logging pipeline in Python to capture and timestamp real-time power meter data across week-long grid simulation sessions
- Analyzed smart meter measurement accuracy across 30+ simulated load profiles; confirmed sub-1% power reading error against emulator setpoints
Research Intern (NSF REU)
University of Tennessee
·
Knoxville, TN
May 2024 — Jul 2024
- Fabricated flexible paper battery prototypes by hand-assembling graphite and zinc electrode layers; characterized output at 0.91V / 0.3 mA against reference targets of 1.2V / 0.5mA
- Evaluated aerodynamic deployment shapes for water-landing sensor housings; validated paper seed geometry as optimal design through drop testing
- Wrote C++ firmware for Arduino-based sensor system sampling water quality parameters (pH, turbidity) every 60 seconds and transmitting readings wirelessly to a monitoring interface
