Work History

Mechanical Engineering Research Lab Assistant

San Jose State University
09.2023 - 12.2023
  • Programmed Arduino microcontrollers in C++ to control various sensors, actuators, and motors, enabling precise and responsive robot movements.
  • Integrated ultrasonic, infrared, and touch sensors for obstacle detection, navigation, and collision avoidance.
  • Utilized serial communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C) to interface with peripheral devices and other microcontrollers.
  • Implemented Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques to precisely control the speed and position of DC motors and servos, enhancing the robot's maneuverability and performance.
  • Implemented A* (A-star) pathfinding algorithm to enable the robot to navigate complex environments effectively, comprising of heuristic functions designed around the environment integrated with real-time sensor data

Quality Control Intern
