I have always loved to tinker and build things in the world. I’ve started from a young age with arts and crafts projects, moving on to scientific experiments, and then engineering projects. I worked many fun projects since:

• Harvard Undergraduate Robotics Club, Unmanned Aerial Systems – Project Leader (Fall 2017 – Present)
• Embedded systems and vision processing at Nest/Google (Summer 2018)
• Created and launched small model rockets with two friends (Summer 2018)
• Underwater robotics with the Harvard Self-Organizing Systems Research Group (Spring 2018)
• Magic mirror – Introduction to EE final project with three teammates (Winter 2017)
• Control algorithms for drones at the Stanford Autonomous Systems Laboratory (Summer 2016)
• FIRST Robotics Team 1868, The Space Cookies – Programming Captain (Summer 2013 – Spring 2017)
• Zero Robotics Project Leader (2014) and Member (2015) – code ran on SPHERE satellites on the International Space Station
• Studied galaxy formation and evolution using data from the Hubble Space Telescope in the Department of Astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz through the Science Internship Program (Summers 2015, 2016)
• Face detection using eigenfaces with the programming team of my robotics team at Gunn High School Hackathon (Fall 2016)
• Sudoku generator and solver – AP Computer Science final project (2015)
• Bubboo Android game, released on Google Play (2014)
• Created a robotic ping-pong shooter and programmed molecule random walkers at California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science (COSMOS) in UC Davis, part 1 and part 2 (2013)
• iOS applications at various hackathons (2011-2013)
• Toy robot with a touch sensor to turn when it hit obstacles (2010)
