Work History

Team Member

Santa Clara Bronco Racing (SAE)
10.2023 - 01.2025
  • Collaborated with the chassis subteam to design and implement the paneling system for the team’s SAE race car.
  • Contributed to material selection and design decisions, ultimately choosing Oratex aircraft fabric for its lightweight, durable, and aesthetic properties.
  • Gained experience in cross-functional collaboration by coordinating with other subteams to ensure design compatibility and project success.
  • Learned the importance of effective communication, teamwork, and iterative design in a competitive engineering environment

R&D Intern

Supira Medical
06.2024 - 09.2024
  • Contributed to three hands-on design and manufacturing projects, supporting the development of tools and fixtures for injection molding processes.
  • Created technical drawings for a mold base, learning how to accurately communicate dimensions and tolerances for manufacturing precision.
  • Designed and developed a pneumatic press fixture to automate the insertion of components into a mold, deepening understanding of the injection molding process, CAD modeling, mold base functionality, and the importance of tolerance stacks in part fit and assembly.
  • Troubleshot manufacturing issues by adapting design solutions—such as upsizing threads—after real-world tolerance discrepancies were discovered, reinforcing the value of precision engineering.
  • Designed a creative yet complex fixture for disassembling a helical mold; although ultimately not adopted, the project emphasized practical design constraints and rapid prototyping for production tooling.
  • Strengthened key engineering skills in SolidWorks, design-for-manufacturing, and clear technical communication.

Intern

Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition
06.2022 - 11.2022
  • Repaired and assembled a wide range of bicycles, gaining hands-on experience with drivetrain systems, hydraulic brakes, and suspension components.
  • Completed independent project bikes, including refurbishing a road bike for sale and restoring an older Santa Cruz mountain bike, which involved complex mechanical work.
  • Performed tasks such as hydraulic brake adjustment, suspension fork tuning, tire sealant installation, and full bike overhauls.
  • Learned to disassemble and reassemble various bike systems, deepening understanding of bicycle construction and performance tuning.
  • Developed confidence in using hand and power tools, and ensured all work met safety and performance standards.
