# Donald Liu > Software Engineer at Angle Health Location: Oakland, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/donaldliu I am a current student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology pursuing a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I am looking for opportunities to implement and expand my software engineering knowledge and learn about the digital work culture. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Angle Health Jan 2024 – Present ### Software Engineer @ RTX Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Woburn, Massachusetts, United States Within my first team (Woburn Software Kaizen), I worked in an agile environment to develop internal tools for RTX. The toolkits that I'm working on include Django (Full Stack), Gitlab, RHEL containers, and ACE-TAO. Currently, I work as a software engineer on the Patriots Program. I work on two products: one which manages data collection from the embedded system of the Patriots system and another which runs the different agents within the system. The toolkits that I'm utilizing include C++, Multithreading, and Linux. ### Research Assistant @ MIT Sloan School of Management Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 I design, spec, and implement replicable virtual lab experiments using Empirica and ReactJS frameworks. Empirica is a open-source, virtual lab platform for developing and conducting synchronous and interactive human-participant experiments. The current experiment revolves around how different team networks affects solving a simple task of finding one common symbol amongst everyone. I build a front-end UI for players to interact with and connect the backend with Empirica and MongoDB to store data. which is an open-software I also recruit, manage, and monitor participants from platforms like Amazon Mechanical Turk and Prolific. After data is gathered, I analyze data to extract information about how leadership positions, communication patterns, etc. A long term goal I have for this research project is using NLP on the communication data to find any language patterns that lead to success or failure. ### Undergraduate Researcher @ MIT Media Lab Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 In the spring, I helped collect feature and audience data on common social media platforms used today. Using AWS Lightsail, I installed an open-source software social media platform called Humhub to analyze how consumers would interact with different features that were added onto the platform. We performed a similar feature and audience analysis to compare it to other platforms. In the summer, I helped research different video game engines ranging from mainstream engines like Unity and Unreal to simpler ones like GoDot, Construct, etc. I designed various video game templates using Construct and GoDot to research how to teach digital prototyping to non-programmers. These video game templates were used to supplement an MIT video game design course. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Eisengard AI Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 I developed a responsive one-page website using a Sanic web framework. The webpage incorporates a mySQL database to record and send emails to potential customers. I also developed python scripts to pull market data from different APIs (Yahoo Finance, Asana, Intrinio, etc) and convert them into .csv files. The market data is then compiled to determine the recent trends for companies on the stock market. Furthermore, I assisted in monte carlo code generation to analyze sectors with potential revenue increase. ### Electrical Engineer and Computer Science Intern @ National Center for Biological Sciences Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Bengaluru, Karnataka I built a 2.45 GHz harmonic radar system to track insects, which had not been tested before. I designed and optimized tags so that they would reflect off from a 2.45 GHz frequency and would be light enough for coffee borers (~ 100 mg in weight). Afterwards, I tested the functionality and range of them using off-the-shelf hardware including WiFi Signal Boosters for amplifiers which I modified for stronger amplification. For system optimization, I built Python blocks in GNURadio that convert continuous signals to be intervaled to get practical information when tracking insects such as its distance from the radar. Furthermore, I synced the graphical representation of the signal to audio sound which would get louder as the tag approached. In the end, I tagged insects and observed five meters of distance using my system. My work is being followed up by and will be used in plantations by the end of the year. ### Electrical Engineering Intern @ EBMUD Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Oakland, California, United States I worked on a project in which I evaluated three old motors at Greenridge Pumping Plant and decided whether they should be kept for continued use. Despite having no knowledge of AC induction motors, electrical equipment, or fundamental physics and economics in addition to feeling immense pressure of making a mistake, I was not deterred. I put in time and effort to learn everything from scratch. Often, I stayed over my set hours in order to learn more and ask questions. I put together a procedural plan, a report and presentation on my findings, and a plan regarding the site’s future. In economic terms, the site should keep the old motors, but make sure to have regular clean-ups. Giving a presentation on all of this in front of my co-workers helped me gain self-confidence in public speaking and my ability to complete difficult tasks. ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 ### Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 ### Skyline High School Jan 2014 – Jan 2018 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/donalddliu --- Source: https://flows.cv/donaldliu JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/donaldliu/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-23
