Projects
UltiLab
Automated Mobile Testing without Writing Code
As the main developer, tester, and architect of the Ultilab Project, I worked with Java, Android Studio, XCode, Swift, MongoDB, JavaScript, and JQuery to create a mobile testing tool that would allow a tester to run a manual test on a single phone and have the same test run on many other phones simultaneously. The purpose of this tool is to allow fast, internal, cross-OS, cross-manufacturer mobile tests to occur.
20/20/20
A Simple App for the Eyes
At HackMIT 2016, I worked with a team of 3 to build a fun reminder app to help you rest your eyes according to the 20-20-20 rule. The Windows version, written in Java, comes as a nonobtrusive notification that dims the screen for 20 seconds when the user accepts. The Mac version, written in Python and integrated with the Mac OS notification system, also gives the user the choice to snooze, in which case a fun fact and/or GIF is displayed.
NavTalent
High Quality Recruiting for Start-ups
NavTalent is a meta start-up; it's a start-up that recruits for other start-ups. Specifically, we are addressing the needs of high-quality start-ups that must hire talented engineers without taking valuable time from the core team; and we are addressing the needs of high-caliber engineers who want to work for good start-ups but cannot find them or filter them from the lower-quality ones.
As an Associate and one of the members of the founding team at MIT, my role is to connect with smart engineers here at MIT and ensure that they are able to choose from high-quality start-ups as they transition into industry.
Space Propulsion Lab
Laser Algorithms for Cubesat Propulsion
In 2015, I did research in the Space Propulsion Lab, which designs ion-spray thrusters for miniature satellite (cubesat) propulsion. Besides performing chemistry experiments to determine which materials work best for our thrusters, I designed algorithms for our in-house laser to make it more efficient and reduce operating costs.
Momentum
Robotics Competition
In January 2015, I led a team of 4 to victory in a competition which required building, augmenting, and programming an EMG-controlled robotic arm within two weeks. Besides managing the team as a whole, I was personally responsible for designing and machining the robotic arm augmentations and tools in a machine shop, operating the robot, and presenting our project to sponsoring companies.
Bluetooth Bicycle Lock
Modular Design for a Shared Bicycle System
This project involved designing a modular, bluetooth-controlled bicycle lock to enable a shared-bicycle system that would be controlled by smartphone. Using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, such as Solidworks, I designed the bicycle lock retainer and made improvements to the existing bicycle lock design. I also machined the lock, and ran user tests on the entire mechanical system.
