Building the future, one system at a time.
I'm a Computer Science student at Chapman University with a focus on Design and Fabrication, graduating May 2026. My expertise spans software development, hardware systems, and creative technical solutions -- from projection mapping and robotics to embedded control systems.
With experience at Diality Inc. and Chapman's research labs, I combine rigorous engineering with creative problem-solving. I've led projects ranging from large-scale projection-mapped shows to autonomous swimming robots, always pushing the boundary between hardware and software.
Where I've worked
Systems & Software Engineering Intern
Diality Inc. · Irvine, CA
- Developed and tested embedded software in C++ for a portable hemodialysis device, integrating sensors and actuators within a real-time control loop.
- Executed hardware-in-the-loop (H.I.L) validation using Bitbucket, Bamboo CI/CD, and Jira, reducing firmware defect rates through automated regression testing.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, software) under FDA-regulated quality processes, contributing to design reviews and documentation.
Engineering Research Assistant
Chapman University · Orange, CA
- Led and supported cross-functional engineering prototypes utilizing C++, Python, MATLAB Simulink, R, and AutoCAD to design, analyze, and optimize systems.
- Utilized advanced testing and data-driven feedback loops to improve performance outcomes, securing a $4,000 research grant.
Property Manager
Fairgrove Property Management · Irvine, CA
- Managed tenant documentation and financial records, including rental applications, invoices, and payments.
- Modernized operations with AppFolio, boosting productivity by 20% while sustaining 98% occupancy for 5 consecutive years.
ODV Stocker Steward Lead
Disneyland Resort · Anaheim, CA
- Maintain vending carts, ensuring proper rotation and stock levels, reducing outages during peak park times.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to uphold high-quality standards in a fast-paced environment.
What I've built
Heritage Fest
Large-scale projection mapping & embedded controllers for immersive cultural shows.
- Led technical and creative design for large-scale projection-mapped shows, including programming, color calibration, lens selection and geometric corrections to ensure seamless imagery.
- Employed AutoCAD for projector placement and facility-scale design, factoring in throw distances, surface geometry, and ambient-lighting constraints.
- Increased attendee engagement by 75% through iterative testing and feedback, optimizing brightness, contrast, and color space for maximum visual impact.
F.I.S.H.Bot
Autonomous swimming robot with biomimetic control systems.
- Developed an autonomous, fish-inspired swimming hydro robot in C++, integrating sensors and actuators to mimic fish locomotion. Leveraged Simulink to refine motion control loops for stability testing.
- Implemented particle image velocimetry (PIV) in Python to analyze flow dynamics, acceleration, and hydrodynamic efficiency across various scale patterns.
- Collaborated on electronics, sensor calibration, and mechanical design, backed by a $4,000 University research grant.
Corgicade
Modular arcade cabinet design with custom lighting and emulation.
- Designed and built a modular arcade cabinet using AutoCAD, integrating dual monitors, custom lighting, and a PC-based emulator for a retro gaming experience.
- Managed material selection, CNC cutting, and assembly to translate 3D concepts into a fully functional prototype.
- Showcased the completed build at a campus game jam, receiving positive feedback for ergonomic design and friendly layout.
Bent Into Shape
3D-printed fish-scale-inspired braces with data-driven design optimization.
- Conducted tensile and bending tests on 3D-printed fish-scale-inspired braces using an Instron system, analyzing load vs. deformation relationships and achieving a 25% strength boost through pattern reformation.
- Utilized Python and R to parse large data sets, generate statistical models, and develop visual dashboards guiding iterative prototype refinement.
