An engineer from UC Berkeley trying to make the world a better place through hardware & software. To date, I've brought machine learning pipelines to scale on the LinkedIn Newsfeed, worked on improving human-in-the-loop system to improve data collection and labeling efforts, and brought cutting-edge research in computer vision to self-driving vehicles.

Autonomous Racecar
January 1, 2015 – September 1, 2017
Built a racecar that can follow curving and self-crossing racetracks at speeds of over 9.5 ft/sec using an optical line-scan sensor. Designed an H-Bridge motor circuit, fabricated mechanical components for a variety of sensors, implemented velocity, steering, and PID control on an ARM KL25Z mbed. Sent telemetry data through Bluetooth. Currently rebuilding and improving it.
Apollo Watch Prototype
August 1, 2014 – Present
Apollo watch prototype. Integrates an ultra-violet sensor, piezo, vibrating motor, 12 full visible-spectrum LEDs, 70mAh LiPo battery, universal micro-usb port, and a Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy radio transceiver w/ built-in ARM cortex M0 micro-controller in a <10 mm profile. Apollo encourages users to stay healthy and enjoy life by tracking your body's exposure to UV and daily golden hours, sunsets, and sunrises. Users can interact w/ the watch through touch-capability and receive visual and haptic feedback. There is a compatible iOS and Android application that allows for additional functionality. Prototyped in 4 weeks. Built from scratch.
Two Cents
January 1, 2014 – January 1, 2016
Mobile application focusing on "spreading philanthropy through pocket change" by allowing two cent per day donations. Currently partnering with non-profit organizations and developing the service. Awarded $1,000 in the CITRIS Mobile App Challenge against 13 other teams.
Nokia Asha Registration Flow
May 1, 2013 – August 1, 2013
Engineered the registration flow for LinkedIn’s native app on the Nokia Asha series. The flow was web-optimized for the Asha, a mid-tier line of devices, targeting 60-80 million devices in 2013. Under mentorship, I held the responsibility of lead back-end engineer and collaborated heavily with the front-end engineer, product manager, and localization team.
AngelCook
June 1, 2012 – Present
Created AngelCook - a minimalistic and user oriented personalized cookbook for your pantry. Allows you to discover recipes to try based on your availability of ingredients. Queried the Pearson's Kitchen Manager API. Created using Javascript.
CMYK Implementation
April 1, 2012 – November 1, 2013
Making Berkeley Beautiful. We are working with local Berkeley restaurants (i.e Cafe Milano, King Pin Donuts, and Yogurt Park) and helping them re-brand!
Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's professional experience is heavily skewed towards backend, machine learning, embedded systems, and autonomous driving. While there is some mention of 'Frontend programming' during an internship at LinkedIn and a 'web-optimized registration flow' for Nokia Asha, and a Javascript project (AngelCook), the overall profile does not align well with a dedicated 'Frontend Developer' role. The projects are diverse, but many lean towards hardware, robotics, or full-stack/backend, indicating a potential mismatch for a pure frontend focus.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's experience at LinkedIn, Uber, and Aurora demonstrates leadership in technical roadmaps, cross-functional collaboration, and problem-solving in complex domains. Their involvement in establishing programs at The Foundry@CITRIS also indicates mentorship and program management capabilities. The project descriptions suggest an innovative and proactive approach to problem-solving.
