I studied electrical engineering (EE) and computer science and engineering (CSE) at UCLA. I love to work with other passionate people in an innovative, supportive environment and I'm excited to join the team at Hera Systems, a San Jose-based startup in January 2016.
Solving problems makes me whole; I am a solid coder and circuits designer. In my free time, I play with Arduinos and a side project currently consuming my days and nights is writing an autonomous flying algorithm for drones.
Software Engineer @ Hera Systems is a Silicon Valley startup building, launching and operating a constellation of imaging satellites in Low Earth Orbit. Our satellites provide the highest resolution geo-spatial imaging, analytics and an abundance of remote and earth sensors. From December 2015 to Present (1 month) Intern @ • Work on development of device that non-invasively measures intracranial pressure (ICP)– pressure inside the brain.
• Current gold standard is drilling a hole in the skull and inserting a sensor – expensive, surgical and stationary.
• Write code that analyzes real time signal from doppler box, output subject’s ICP and indicate whether subject has suffered traumatic brain injury and needs medical attention.
• Developed GUI in Qt framework that interacts with OpenGI and C++ code.
• Widespread application in point-of-care testing in rural areas, the military and NFL. From August 2013 to January 2015 (1 year 6 months) Research Assistant @ • Studied the interaction of Earth’s magnetosphere with solar storms.
• Optimized legacy code/algorithms written in Fortran and C, removed redundant computations, parallelized them using openMP. Total lines of code optimized ~25,000.
• Developed intricate visual analysis tools in MATLAB to analyze data and plot aesthetic 3-D graphs. Also developed algorithms to perform statistical analysis for checking accuracy of results.
• Used shell script to automate running of batched datasets on cluster. Total data churned ~50 TB. Reduced average time spent on handling runs from about 300 hours to 20 hours every half-year.
• Implemented framework to run MATLAB codes on supercomputer cluster for better throughput.
• Published 16 times in conference proceedings and once in Journal of Geophysical Research. Presented my research at 7 conferences in the US and abroad. Won the best poster award twice. From September 2010 to December 2014 (4 years 4 months) Intern @ • We provide high-speed Internet access in rural areas such as NE, WI, MN and SD on the below 700 MHz spectrum.
• Enhance the use of Radio Mobile software to identify optimal locations for towers based on coverage & topography.
• Researched and implemented a database system for inventory management using SQL and Excel.
• Researched potential federal grants. From August 2013 to December 2013 (5 months) Research Assistant @ • Worked both on hardware and software side to create photonics based telemedicine technology for point-of-care testing to provide cheap healthcare in rural areas.
• Worked in a team of graduate researchers to optimize the scanning quality of a regular scanning device.
• Helped with early stage development of the Big Foot Project HTTP://BIGFOOT.EE.UCLA.EDU.
• Designed and built circuits, conducted experiments with high-power lasers on optical table, developed new techniques in the field of software lenses to enhance image resolution in post-processing stage, such as, for counting cells from a low-resolution image. From January 2012 to August 2012 (8 months)
