Helping Understand New Grass Roots Yammering (HUNGRY) ME218C Project
March 1, 2016 – June 1, 2016
Design and build a tele-operated Loyal Only By BriberY Influence Spreading Technology (LOBBYIST) vehicle and a companion Political Artillery Controller (PAC). Groups of LOBBYISTs will operate in the Political Arena at the end of the Atrium in Building 550. During rounds of the game the two groups of PACs, through their LOBBYISTs, will attempt to herd the lawmakers through the appropriate door and thereby pass the most important legislation of our day.
Vehicle for Obtaining the Trust of the Electorate (VOTE) ME218B Project

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's background is heavily skewed towards robotics, AI/ML engineering, and research, with significant experience in large tech companies (DeepMind, AWS, Microsoft) and startups. While they have strong technical depth, their experience does not directly align with a traditional 'Data Analyst' role, which typically focuses more on data manipulation, statistical analysis, visualization, and business intelligence rather than AI/ML model development or robotics. The projects listed are also robotics-focused. This indicates a potential mismatch with the target role's core responsibilities, although their analytical skills from their engineering background could be transferable.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's experience as a Co-Founder and Researcher at two startups (Energent.ai, CambioML) suggests an entrepreneurial mindset, initiative, and potentially strong problem-solving skills. Their role as a Google Python readability mentor indicates a commitment to code quality and potentially good communication skills for technical guidance. However, the provided project descriptions are brief and lack detail, making it difficult to fully assess operational fit and collaboration style.
