During the fall 2024 semester at CU Boulder, I took courses in computer architecture, microelectronics, mathematical economics, and econometrics. I also started work on my senior capstone project, described below. Current projects include:
To date, I have maintained a 3.8 GPA at CU Boulder. During the summer of 2024, I worked on embedded systems as an intern at Sandia National Labs. In spring 2024, my Goldwater Scholarship research essay (⭳) advanced to the national competition but ultimately did not win an award. I am currently searching for full-time roles for the summer of 2025. To discuss work or research opportunities, please get in touch.
During the spring 2023 semester at CU Boulder, I took courses in embedded software engineering, wireless communications systems, complex circuit analysis, and general electronics design. Projects included:
Additionally, during the 2023-2024 school year, I worked on optical systems as a research apprentice. I am currently searching for full-time roles for the summer of 2025. To discuss work or research opportunities, please get in touch.
Since returning to school to study electrical engineering at CU Boulder, I have furthered my understanding of the discipline by taking courses in circuit analysis and design, digital logic, and applied mathematics. Projects I've completed include:
My near-term goal is to secure full-time employment in the Denver metro area. To discuss work and research opportunities, please get in touch.
In the regulatory compliance department, I exercised my technical writing skills by authoring company policies and procedures for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and Energy Information Administration (EIA) reporting, creating clear, consistent, and easy-to-use processes. When the COVID-19 health crisis struck, I wrote responses to investors' and contractors' questions and concerns regarding the pandemic. I also negotiated third party contracts for regulatory compliance work, reducing costs from an initial quote of $150,000 to an actual expenditure less than $20,000.
As a member of the asset management team, I oversaw five solar sites in central California consisting of 18.5 MWac of generation capacity. I analyzed quotes from vendors for activities like panel washing and vegetation management to ensure all operational decisions were accretive, communicated with operations and maintenance providers to ensure the projects produced enough energy to meet their financial goals, and reported to lenders on project production and financial status.
These projects cleared their debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) during every reporting period throughout my time as asset manager.
In this role, I practiced the important skill of explaining complex concepts in simple terms. I built online help systems geared towards clinicians, medical and economic researchers, and officials at the California Department of Health Care Services. I also learned basic aspects of network security, practiced principles of the Agile/Scrum workflow, and wrote content for the MedRIC public website at https://medric.info. Technical documentation I produced in this role included:
During this course, I built projects using breadboards, soldering irons, basic circuit components, Arduino, Java, and C++. Projects included:
Of these projects, the EKG piqued my interest the most—the interplay between the body's natural electromagnetic phenomena and that of our equipment struck me as both mysterious and beautiful, and this experience played a major role in my decision to pursue electrical engineering.
