NVIDIA DRIVE - Autonomous Vehicles (self-driving cars) 🚗

● Developed automation as an SDET in NVIDIA's Test Engineering department to cut regression triage time saving testing and reporting costs

● Mentored engineers on pre-merge AV simulation pipelines, triaging KPI deviations to prevent regressions and maintain daily build stability

● Scaled validation across safety-critical test suites by implementing automated job triggers, test gates, and refined KPI thresholds for faster regression detection

● Enhanced SQL dashboards to monitor KPI performance, reducing pre-merge validation cycles to under 24 hours and accelerating release decisions

● Maintained 24/7 validation coverage through on-call rotations, ensuring continuous build monitoring and rapid incident response during critical release windows

● Improved simulation software and automated manual test procedures for spacecraft

● Automated telemetry verification across multiple Maxar satellites (Ovzon3, Galaxy32) launched via SpaceX

● Automated Python-based test reporting, eliminating 250 hours per month of manual effort, translating to $150K in cost savings annually

● Implemented unit testing across three satellites, reducing post-deployment errors by 95%, boosting product reliability

● Developed Matplotlib-based satellite data visualizations in simulation, giving leadership actionable program-level insights

● Designed Python tools to streamline satellite command verification, improving velocity by 55% and cross-team efficiency

● Launched SharePoint site with Product Manager, increasing documentation accessibility and customer engagement by 35%

● Led migration of technical documentation to GitLab, enhancing security, usability, and cross-team knowledge sharing

● Introduced a Python CLI tool to automate process termination, boosting simulation software performance

*Gained both Software Engineering & Product Management experience*

SpotMe Solutions is a mobile platform that tells you where parking is available in real-time.

We provide users with real-time parking information. This is done by using sensors in designated garages to count traffic flow and stream live data from the app.

● Collaborated with a cross-functional team of eight to launch a mobile parking app adopted by 3000 users in San Jose

Winner of SJSU Software Hackathon (Sponsored by IBM)

Built an app within 48 hours called Pistachio, the first automated charity donation app. Pistachio rounds every transaction you make to the nearest dollar and donates the difference to local homeless charities and organizations of your choice.

● Teamed up with a group of 4 to create a mobile app providing financial assistance to San Jose’s homeless population

● Devised monetization strategies in line with product vision and created a user authentication page with React.js

● Revamped UI/UX design through wireframe designs, mockups, and app prototypes using Figma
