Work Experience

Mechanical Design Intern, Radiant Labs, Austin, TX May 2024 – August 2024

I developed detailed SolidWorks models for custom vacuum chamber assemblies and high-voltage feedthroughs used in portable X-ray modules. This involved integrating mechanical housings with optical and electronic subsystems while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to maintain vacuum integrity. I also fabricated prototype components using CNC machining and stereolithography 3D printing, ensuring precise tolerances and functionality. To validate performance, I conducted rigorous leak testing and pressure cycling, confirming the system's reliability under operational conditions.

Mechanical Engineering Intern, Vallourec, Houston, TX May 2023 – August 2023

For this internship, I designed pipe support structures for solar tracking systems using SolidWorks, achieving a 10% reduction in material usage through optimized geometry. To enhance the structural integrity of tubular components, I conducted stress analysis and simulations using ANSYS and MATLAB. I also assisted in developing new manufacturing techniques—such as precision bending and automated welding—for cooling pipes used in solar thermal systems, resulting in a 15% boost in production efficiency and more consistent product quality. This work directly contributed to scaling up the deployment of cost-effective renewable energy infrastructure.

Apple Support College Program - Tier 1 Advisor, Austin, TX April 2024 – February 2025

For this part-time job, I provided technical support to customers as a Tier 1 Advisor in the Apple Support College Program. I specialized in diagnosing and resolving a wide range of iOS device issues, from software bugs and iCloud syncing errors to hardware malfunctions and accessibility configurations. By leveraging Apple’s internal diagnostic tools and knowledge base, I consistently achieved high customer satisfaction scores and reduced average call handling time. I also collaborated with cross-functional teams to escalate complex cases and identify recurring issues, contributing to internal process improvements. This role sharpened my problem-solving and communication skills in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment while reinforcing my ability to translate technical concepts into clear, actionable steps.

Projects/ Org Involvement

Levitation Team Member, Texas Guadaloop, UT Austin September 2023 – Present

As a Levitation Team Member for Texas Guadaloop at UT Austin, I have designed electro-magnets in SolidWorks for a high-speed levitating pod that competed in the European Hyperloop Competition. Working closely with other Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, I deepened my understanding of magnetic principles and helped test the structure of the magnetic flux yoke using a custom-built test rig. After encountering over 10 failed prototypes, I learned to adapt quickly to evolving design requirements and maintained focus in high-pressure, uncertain environments.

Research Analysis of the Lifecycle of EV Batteries, Projects in Mechanical Engineering September 2023 – December 2023

In my research project on the lifecycle of EV batteries, I conducted an in-depth review of over 50 academic studies on battery degradation mechanisms and recycling processes. I took the initiative to contact EV manufacturers and industry experts to gather real-world insights into battery performance. This research culminated in a comprehensive report on battery design, which I presented to an audience of over 15 engineering professors and students.

DIY Quadcopter Drone Project, Personal Project April 2025 – Present

For a personal project, I designed and fabricated a lightweight quadcopter weighing 249 grams (subject to fewer regulations) using 3D-printed components, improving the power-to-weight ratio by 12%. I programmed and calibrated the flight controllers, fine-tuned PID parameters, and tested various flight modes to achieve stable performance with a drift margin of less than 2%. Additionally, I integrated a First-Person View (FPV) system featuring a 1080p camera and 2.4 GHz ELRS transmitter, along with VTX for video transmission.
