My Projects
A COLLECTION OF MY LATEST WORK
experience
Body Controls Intern: Tesla Motors
January - August 2023
During my internship with the Body Controls team at Tesla Motors, I developed hardware and software for low-voltage controllers in Tesla vehicles. I designed and tested numerous PCBAs, conducted bench testing, and created automated test scripts to improve validation efficiency. These efforts directly contributed to the improvement of controller validation and reliability, leading to significantly greater test coverage for production parts.
Researcher: Lighting Enabled Systems & Architecture (LESA)
September 2023 - Present
I supervise an undergraduate research team with the goal of developing an advanced Time-of-Flight (ToF) occupancy sensor for commercial/industrial applications. This sensor captures data using an 8x8 ToF sensor array and uses a BLE mesh to communicate with nearby devices. I developed a ToF sensor PCBA, optimizing for size and power efficiency.
Robotics Intern: Humanitarian Technologies (HuT) Labs
July - August 2021
I had an robotics/research internship with Humanitarian Technolgoies (HuT) Labs, a research lab in Amrita University, India. The purpose of my work was to implement path planning algorithms for autonomous robots using Robot Operating System (ROS) and Python.
