Work Experience

Project Management Co-op @ Arlo Technologies Canada Sep. 2023 - Dec. 2023

  • Arlo specializes in home automation, and I worked with their Hub devices, multi-sensors and doorbell cameras.
  • Significantly reduced false detections in Arlo's multi-sensor product by designing a more reliable algorithm for smoke & CO alarms.
  • Collaborated with internal teams (local and international) and external contractors to ensure project status updates and to update Jira.
  • Delivered comprehensive data analyses and proposed software and hardware revisions to the Project Management and SW/HW teams.

Electrical/Mechanical Engineering Co-op @ Conetec Investigations Inc. Jan. 2021 - Dec. 2021

  • Led the end-to-end development and enhancement of Conetec's iBPT system, including designing & implementing a DAQ system.
  • Created detailed documentation, test plans, and training materials using Confluence for knowledge transfer.
  • Optimized sensor accuracy across key products (eCones, eResitivity and more) by refining data analysis algorithms with Python and MATLAB.
  • Completed side projects utilizing CAN drivers and Ethernet to communicate with peripherals for data acquisition.

Line Cook @ Earls Kitchen + Bar Richmond Jul. 2018 - Dec. 2020

  • Improved communication skills by utilizing teamwork to get through rushes.
  • Leadership skills used to lead the appetizers team to effectively manage time and orders.

Education

BASc in Computer Engineering with Distinction @ Simon Fraser University Sep. 2019 - Aug. 2024

  • Deans Honour Roll Summer 2020, Fall 2020, Spring 2022, Summer 2022, Summer 2023, Summer 2024.
  • 3.59/4.33 CGPA.

  • SFU Team PhantomControls Team Member
  • SFU Team GuardianElectrical Team Member

My Goals

I have many goals that I want to get done within the next year:

  • Get a full-time job!
  • Make a simple online multiplayer game.
  • Finish a project using artificial intelligence in a practical way.
  • More and more side projects.
  • Finish the Gran Fondo @ Whistler in under 5 hours.
  • Do a backflip on a snowboard.

My Interests

When I am in focus mode, I love working on embedded projects as making many sub-systems come together to create one great system is so satisfying.
In my free time, I love to go outside to go cycling or go snowboarding. If I feel like staying inside, I'll be watching/reading One Piece or playing video games.
