• Supported reliability and maintenance engineering efforts across a large municipal wastewater treatment facility, working closely with electrical, mechanical, operations, and construction teams.
• Utilized CMMS (Cityworks) to support asset management, PM development, work orders, and maintenance documentation.
• Extracted, analyzed, and validated operational data from SCADA (Ignition) systems to support landfill gas (LFG) billing, energy tracking, and reporting.
• Assisted with arc flash study reviews and updated electrical panel information (voltage, ampacity, sources, transformers) in GIS/asset databases.
• Supported electrical field work including DC battery charger system reviews, SOP development, and coordination with electricians at substations and MCCs.
• Participated in mechanical maintenance activities, including equipment inspections, mechanical seal installations, and coordination with maintenance crews.
• Assisted with construction and capital improvement projects, including site walks, contractor coordination (Overaa and others), and daily field reporting.
• Prepared and reviewed daily inspection and progress reports, including coordination with PG&E during natural gas and cogeneration outages, and documenting work on process and utility equipment (DAF systems, sludge handling, furnaces, auxiliary boilers).
• Coordinated with internal staff and external contractors to obtain quotes, scope clarification, and field verification for maintenance and construction activities.

Managed and updated matrix sheets tracking conduit lengths, material usage, and site-specific notes—used for coordination and final submittals to the BUSD.
Prepared and redlined as-built drawings based on actual conduit routing and field conditions; reviewed these with the project team before turning them in to the district.
Collaborated daily with the Project Manager, Foreman, and Head of Electrical Operations to ensure installations were aligned with plans, schedules, and school requirements.
Assisted with jobsite supply logistics, including verifying inventory, ensuring material availability for scheduled work, and coordinating deliveries as needed.
Participated in site walks, communicated installation updates, and supported real-time adjustments to layout and design based on field realities.
This role gave me hands-on experience with project documentation, materials coordination, and cross-team collaboration—essential skills.

As an Electrical Engineering Intern at BART, I supported the Electrical Engineering team on three major transit infrastructure projects focused on system upgrades and reliability improvements across the Bay Area.
• Utilized Fluke Energy Analyzer software to evaluate panel load capacity and performed voltage drop calculations to size cables for the Clipper 2 project.
• Edited single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and station layouts using Bluebeam to ensure efficient and accurate power distribution to relay cabinets.
• Developed a new wiring design for SEL-710 relay replacement by analyzing MP3000 ladder logic and relay cut sheets; programmed the SEL-710 software to match motor specifications and documented retrofit costs through detailed bills of material.
• Conducted a lighting survey in the Berkeley Hills Tunnel during graveyard shifts, participating in high rail operations and collecting lighting data on the C1 and C2 tracks to ensure compliance with BART Facility Standards.
• Delivered a final technical presentation to an audience of over 100 BART engineers, showcasing project work, field data, and design outcomes.
This internship strengthened my technical abilities in electrical system design, field data collection, and relay protection, while also enhancing my communication and presentation skills in a professional engineering environment.
