skills coupled with the ability to turn complex issue s into succinct, cohesive summaries /presentations .
EDUCATION
University of California, Irvine
President of Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honors Society
Dean�s Honor List (every quarter)
B.S. Mechanical Engineering
Anticipated Graduation: June 2022
Cumulative GPA: 3.9 6
EXPERIENCE
KNT Manufacturing
Mechanical Engineering Intern
Newark, CA
January 2018 to March 2018
� Coordinated project to streamline the manufacturing pipelines of critical parts for the entire plant.
Consulted with every department to understand each manufacturing process . Consolidated
redundant quality control (QC) inspections, transfers between machines, manual fabrication with
specialized tools, etc ., resulting in a ~15 % reduction in fabrication time per part.
� Quantified productivity of each machine group in weekly Excel reports using data I compiled from
~50 CNC mills and lathe s. Collaborated with Director of Operations to delegate overtime which
required generating new workflows for parts . Reduced delayed parts from 18% to 10%.
� Constructed 3D CAD models in SolidWorks from clients� drawings . Formalized CAD files into
fabrication drawings labeled with appropriate GD&T dimensioning . Cooperated with programming
department to develop a manufacturing pipeline for new parts.
� Performed QC checks for the Quality Assurance (QA) department. Required understanding of the
drawings sent in by clients and GD&T for every part , to ensure parts fall inside necessary tolerances.
EXTRACURRICULARS
UCI LIBRA Aeronautics
Undergraduate Researcher
Irvine, CA
January 2020 to June 2020
� Stud ied airplane flight dynamics under stall conditions when control surfaces fail , specifically
observing aerodynamic control mechanisms to improve maneuverability near and post -stall
� Engineered a 5-axis force sensor using load cells and programm ed a LabVIEW system to ingest raw
voltage data and convert it to forces and moments (lift, drag, roll, yaw, pitch)
� Analyzed various 3D models in a wind tunnel and d iscovered quick elevator and aileron deflections
resulted in increased controllability at high angles of attack versus rolling with only ailerons . Aileron
sensitivity disappears at stall whereas the rate of change of that sensitivity still has a large value .
UCI Formula SAE Electric Racing
Chassis Sub -Team
Irvine, CA
April 2019 to December 2019
� Manufacture d a race car to compete against universities across the country in the FSAE competition
� Designed a space frame chassis in Solid Works conforming to the 2020 rules laid out by FSAE and
performed finite element analysis (FEA) on parts ( torsional rigidity, weight distributio n, center of
gravity )
� Fabricated the chassis, which required MIG/TIG welding, laser cutting, etc. and worked with other
sub -teams to successfully integrate the other subsystems
UCI Men�s Rowing
Rower
Irvine, CA
August 2018 to October 2019
� Trained daily under coaching staff with national and Olympic experience
� Practiced 20 hours a week along with dedicating time towards fundraising efforts
� Led a boat to regionals and nationals where we placed 4th and 5 th respectively my freshman year
