Technical Projects
Project | 01 Requirement Q&A (NLP)
​
I created a Question-Answering tool for NASA space flight mission engineering. The tool utilizes state-of-the-art NLP systems to eliminate the need for manual searching of documents.
​
Project | 02 Empowering Yelp Advertisers
​
We used classifier and GANs to create tools for restaurant owners. Our tools enable restaurant owners to be able to understand the potential star rating of images they are planning on using for advertisement and allow them to understand the features of photographs that lend themselves towards specific user attitudes. This project was done for CS 231n: Computer Vision with CNNs.
Project | 03 NLP to Predict Mortality
​
I utilized BERT and common NLP tools to predict mortality based on free-text notes compiled by medical staff for ICU patients using the MIMIC-III datasets This project was done for CS 230: Deep Learning.
​
Project | 04 ML for Mortality Predication​
We tested several common machine learning approaches for the task of mortality prediction using the MIMIC-III dataset. This project was done for CS 221: AI Principles & Techniques.

Project | 05 Ear Tube Redesign
​
I created a new tympanostomy tube design and prototype that prevents bidirectional flow. This demonstrably protects users (primarily young children) by preventing contaminated water from flowing into the Eustachian tubes. The shape of my tube also reduces the likelihood of the device falling into the Eustachian tube as well. This was built for BIOE 70Q: Medical Device Innovation. (I am now the Course Development Assistant for this class).
​
Project | 06 Live Lecture Feedback
​
Our team created a two-part feedback device for lecturers. We built for two specific pieces of feedback: volume and speed. Part A of the device is an authenticated mobile app that allows students to indicate if a professor is speaking too fast or if the professor cannot be heard. Part B of the device is the feedback receiving instrument. We prototyped both a wearable with vibration alerting and LED table top indicators for visualization. We also tested this device live in 3 classrooms and with 3 separate lecturers. This project was done for CHEMENG 90Q: Dare to Care, Compassionate Design (Designing for Folks with Disabiliites). I am now a Course Development Assistant for this class.

Project | 07 Argus Rocket Camera
​
Our team was tasked with creating a camera system that could be deployed on Stanford Student Space Initiative rockets for visual flight data (especially in the event of an ~unexpected aerial disassembly~). We created a modular, low-power camera system and were able to test early prototypes. We made central avionic bay node with a radio receiver for ground station signals. This radio receiver was hardwired to and activated a WiFi mesh network node directly before launch. The WiFi main node then activated wireless meshed cameras at strategic locations throughout the rocket body. For external imaging, we used angled mirrors on the outside of the rocket body accessed by cameras via through holes. We used Altium to create our prototype PCB and planned to harden our design with an epoxy coating.
​
Project | 08 Barebones Theremin Pi
​
We used a barebones Raspberry Pi and built a bootloader and all other minimal software for this device. From here, our team used distance sensors and speakers to build a toy theremin. Our device was similar in concept to the left device. This was built for CS 49N: Using Bits to Control Atoms.
Project | 09 No Fastener Stool
​
I machined MDF using a router to create this pressure fit stool. I got only two MDF boards which were 2x1 each. My CAD designs and simulations suggest that the stool can support well over 300 pounds without buckling and the pressure fit was achieved with just a dead blow hammer due to the well-designed tolerances.
Project | 10 No Fastener Tool Tray
​
This was made using only sheet metal which was later powder coated to prevent corrosion. Instead of fasteners, I used spot welding and MIG welding in the shop.
Project | 11 Forged Fire Poker
​
While I have no picture available of this project, the left contains similar elements to the one I created. Using steel bars, I used common bending tools and then a hammer and forge to construct an artful, yet pointed fire poker.
Project | 12 FRC Year 4
​
On this robot, I mostly did controls systems work and software. Much of our time went to autonomous vision work, motion planning, and PID tuning.
Project | 13 FRC Year 3
​
On this robot, I did a lot of assembly and wiring for controls systems as well as some machining and prototyping. I also won an off-season competition as the base driver on our drive team.
Project | 14 FRC Year 2
​
On this robot, my primary technical responsibility was to CAM parts, machine parts, and conduct assembly. I spent extensive amounts of time working with CNC equipment, 3D printers, laser engravers, and hand mills, lathes, etc.
Project | 15 FRC Year 1
​
During my first year, I was the primary student responsible for all wiring in the control system and I did some amount of assembly. I also did some work with the onboard pneumatic system.
