Zayd Khan

I worked with a team to develop a prototype facility camera. The camera was designed to record different sporting games and/or events.

• The project taught me a lot about software testing, wiring, troubleshooting, and teamwork.
• The constant out-of-the-box thinking strengthened my creative outlook on projects and showed me how to plan and design for projects.
• I also worked with the software Onshape to create a 3D model of the facility camera to communicate the proper dimensions to the team.
• I worked with 3D printers, creating models that eventually made their way onto the final prototype.

The program convened teenagers from Israel-Palestine and the U.S. To engage in professionally facilitated dialogue about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict to promote awareness.

• As a hand, I engaged in intense dialogue and developed integral communication skills.
• As an XL I continued to engage in facilitated dialogue while also serving as a mentor to the first-year participants.
• After formal participation in the program, I was selected to be on a panel to represent Hands Of Peace at the Parliament of World Religions convention in Chicago. I was also chosen to be interviewed to share further insight into the Hands Of Peace experience.

Assisted in developing and testing algorithms that utilize AI (ML/CV), such as shot detection for basketball; performed annotations for model training, and participated in product development and QA.
