Jawbone UP iOS




As an iOS Software Engineer working on the Health iOS Team, building the next version of the UP iPhone application that accompanies the UP line of wristbands. My work focuses primarily on prototyping new possibilities supported by Apple's iOS 8. More info to come upon release!

CellScope:
iPhone Application + Web Server

Through the Dr. Dan Fletcher CellScope Lab, I developed an iOS application to screen for eye diseases. Using AV Foundation and CoreBluetooth, the application communicated to a handheld device with lightings and optics to capture images of the retina. Using AFNetworking 2.0, I implemented a multiple image uploader to AWS S3 with a Flask-based web app for online image viewing.  

Cognionics Inc:
Android Application 
For my senior design project at UCSD, a worked with Cognionics Inc. to develop an Android Application designed to display biopotential data in real-time by establishing a Bluetooth connection with a Cognionics ECG or EEG device.

Basis Science: 
Biometric DataVisualization


During summer 2012 I worked at BASIS Science, a company that connects individuals with their physical wellbeing through use of a health monitoring wristwatch.

Using Javascript and Python, I prototyped different data visualization views to make it easier for the users to keep track of their activity level.

Engineering World Health:
PCR Thermocycler




I led an Engineering World Health project team to build a cost-effective PCR Thermocycler and win 2nd Place in the 2012 EWH National Design Competition. 

The design used a Peltier chip, an aluminum heating block, and a computer heat sink with an Arduino LCD interface.

The device rapidly heats and cools PCR tubes in order to catalyze DNA amplification.

MAE 3 Robotics:
Building the Winning Robot



As a part of the MAE 3 Robotics Competition, my team and I were challenged to design and fabricate a robot that could score bouncy balls into different goals within 1 minute. 

I came up with a simple yet effective design to lift, twist, and drive each ball into the goal worth the most points.  

Our robot would go on to beat out more than thirty other teams to win first in the Spring 2011 Robotics Competition.

Life Technologies:
Cell Culture Automation





During my 10-week internship in the Systems Engineering group at Life Technologies, I designed various data acquisition system to characterize a cell culture automation device.

In this particular project, the rotary agitator velocity profile was quantified. I designed a slotted cap in SolidWorks that exposed reflective material to an optical sensor. The data was read to a computer using LabVIEW and processed in MATLAB.

Minerva Surgical: 
Prototype Durability Testing





At Minerva Surgical, I worked on developing an endometrial ablation device. I fabricated various metal frames prototypes and ran durability testing on each of them to determine the yield strength of each metal. Each frame was then enclosed in a silicon balloon and used to induce Argon Plasma. I then performed balloon strength testing through different electrical power ranges and analyzed the failure modes. 

Commision of Warren Spirit: 
Spirit Night 2010 & 2011




In my freshman year of college, I founded the Commission of Warren Spirit (COWS), a community group for organizing Spirit and Athletic Rallies at UCSD. 

The annual Spirit NIght Competition is a fierce contest between UCSD's 6 Colleges. As the Commissioner of Warren Spirit, I was responsible for decorating the Warren college campus and the basketball gym. I led Warren to finish 1st in 2011 and 2nd in 2010 in the Spirit Night competition.
