Worked on independent engineering prototypes and technical product experiments spanning computer vision, embedded electronics, and intelligent software systems. • Developed computer vision systems using YOLO, OpenCV, and PyTorch on a Raspberry Pi embedded platform, integrating sensors and edge processing for real-time object detection and activity analysis. • Built and iterated on a prototype software tool for organizing and prioritizing long-form video ideas using large language models, including system architecture design, feature prototyping, and early user validation.

Designed and validated electronics and electrical hardware systems for high-performance sensing platforms, developing automated test and validation infrastructure to improve reliability, testing throughput, and compliance with international standards. Key contributions: • Designed PCB-based electronics and battery protection circuits enabling automated, unattended hardware testing. • Built hardware validation and system integration test infrastructure using signal generators, power supplies, and custom instrumentation. • Conducted system-level validation and compliance testing while translating international engineering standards into actionable system requirements.

Led the electrical architecture and system integration for a Formula SAE electric racecar while managing a 50-member multidisciplinary engineering team. Key contributions: • Directed the design and integration of the vehicle’s high-voltage electrical and electronics systems, including battery packs, motor controllers, ECU, safety circuits, and embedded subsystems. • Coordinated cross-functional development across powertrain, electronics, and embedded systems to deliver a fully operational race vehicle compliant with Formula SAE regulations. • Oversaw system integration, electrical debugging, and validation testing across multiple vehicle subsystems.

Designed and validated safety-critical electronics and electrical systems for the electric racecar’s fault detection and shutdown architecture. Key contributions: • Designed and fabricated a PCB-based safety shutdown circuit responsible for detecting faults from the BMS, insulation monitoring device, and braking safety system. • Improved reliability of the electrical safety system through circuit redesign, hardware debugging, and validation testing. • Performed electrical system testing using oscilloscopes, power supplies, and instrumentation to verify fault detection and response timing.
