I am a recent graduate from the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) with a degree in Bioelectronics. I have worked on several embedded programming projects in college such as building a theremin, oscilloscope, and attitude estimator. I also built a wildfire detection prototype in a team of 9 engineers. Currently I am working on developing a chess engine using GitHub pages.

Competencies: C, Python, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, software engineering, embedded programming.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Pollen Mobile
Jan 2022 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area

### Software Engineer @ CB Software Engineering
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022
• Created a chess UI using JavaScript and CSS on GitHub pages
• Examined a position using JavaScript to calculate 1000 moves per second
• Evaluated future positions using a Minimax algorithm to select the move that results in the greatest point and positional advantage 
• Used alpha beta pruning to allow the Minimax algorithm to reduce move selection at layer 3 by 50% and allow looking 5 layers further with a time limit of 3 seconds

### Detection Engineer @ University of California, Santa Cruz
Jan 2019 – Jan 2020
• Designed an image processing algorithm using python on a Raspberry Pi to process 6 images in 30 seconds.
• Selected hardware to capture and process images using weighted pros and cons while staying within a  $600 dollar budget
• Field tested camera and algorithm using a beach bonfire resulting in positive identification of a fire at 1300ft with only 3 false positives over 15 images.

### Embedded Software Engineer @ University of California, Santa Cruz
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019
• Updated attitude estimate using a rotational matrix to maintain orthonormal estimate.
• Included feedback from accelerometer and magnetometer to correct gyroscopic error and bias drift, making attitude estimation resistant to quick movements and extended use.
• Corrected gyroscopic error and bias drift using feedback from accelerometer and magnetometer to create an estimator resistant fast movement and extended use.
