Experience

June 2022 - September 2022

Software Engineer Intern

Alliance Innovation Lab, Nissan North America

☐ Utilizing the Ackermann steering model, devised a projected motion path estimation algorithm given current steering data in order to enable teleoperation of automated vehicles.
☐ Designed and developed a user interface for the teleoperation web application that improves user experience metrics such as usability, learnability, and efficiency of use.
☐ Implemented a path overlay drawing algorithm utilizing camera transformation of 3D world coordinates.
☐ Developed API endpoints and a tool to visualize simulation data in real-time.

September 2021 - Present

Graduate Research Assistant, HCI

IxD Research Group, Stanford University

☐Implementing support for multiple themes and storylines in an Android narrative-based fitness app.
☐Integrating Google Fit API and designing a Firebase database for the app to facilitate seamless collection of wellness and health data, and efficient data visualization.
☐Upgrading the current codebase of the app written in Java by adding new features to prepare the app for a study to understand the persuasive power of data-driven narrative for promoting more active lifestyles.

Jan 2020 - August 2021

Undergraduate Research Assistant, HCI & IoT

Hand and Machine Research Group, UNM

☐ Designed a hardware-software integrated system for a novel large scale outdoor interactive mural.
☐ Built embedded systems utilizing Raspberry Pi, microcontrollers and sensors to respond to human interactions, record weather data, and wirelessly communicate with the server and the database.
☐ Developed a database and a fully-fledged web interface to remotely observe, monitor, and control the mural.
☐ Leveraged skills in Node.js, p5.js, MySQL, Python, C, HTML, CSS, Raspberry Pi, Microcontrollers, HTTP, I2C

Jan 2020 - Jan, 2021

Undergraduate Research Assistant, Program Analysis

Department of Computer Science, UNM

☐ Extend DIG – a tool for generating linear and nonlinear numerical invariants using symbolic states.
☐ Devised a novel heuristic approach to find the maximum degree of invariants in the form of nonlinear equality involving non-factorable polynomials with the help of numerical analysis of the concrete states.
Designed an algorithm, and developed a program utilizing Python and SageMath; the program is capable of finding the maximum degree with a success rate of 90%.
☐ Leveraged skills in Python, SageMath, Multivariable Calculus, Interpolation.

Feb 2020- March 2021

Undergraduate Research Assistant, Embedded Systems

Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC), UNM

☐ Led a team of 4 members at the UNM CTSC Health Hackathon – 2020, proposed a digital indoor navigation system for large hospitals that will help each hospital to stop an average revenue leakage of $250000 every year. The proposed system has been selected to be funded by NIH with an initial amount of $10000.
☐ Developed a prototype of a hardware-software integrated system that utilizes QR codes to help patients and staff navigate inside hospitals.
☐ Leveraged skills in JavaScript, React, NodeJS, Embedded Systems.

Jan, 2020 - Dec 2020
