CV
Reframe Innovations
Founder · January 2026–Present
At Reframe, we built procurement automation for hardware teams, connecting bill-of-materials planning, supplier communication, sourcing, and purchasing workflows. The application uses TypeScript, Supabase, TanStack Query for server state, Jotai for UI state, and Trigger.dev for Gmail synchronization and background workflows.
We evaluated negotiation behavior by labeling supplier conversations, documenting effective and ineffective tactics, and constructing preference pairs. We used these pairs to fine-tune gpt-oss with direct preference optimization using MLX.
Freshfleet Robotics
Founder · August 2025–November 2025
At Freshfleet Robotics, I designed compliant end effectors for cleaning vehicle seats and floors with a UR10e robot arm, including the cleaning mechanism, electronics, and actuation.
- Cleaning hardware and control: I built functional cleaning prototypes with custom end effectors, electrical systems, and circuit design. I developed microcontroller firmware for actuation and hardware control, achieving a three-minute cleaning cycle per seat.
- Robot motion planning: I implemented real-time path planning and dynamic collision avoidance in ROS 2 for the UR10e robot arm, and managed an external software contractor to accelerate robotics programming and optimize motion planning.
- Prototype funding and deployment planning: I secured $200,000 in pre-seed funding and led deployment negotiations with fleet operator Moove to validate technical specifications against operational constraints.
Apple
Product Design Engineer · January 2022–May 2025
I worked on mechanical design, structural integration, and validation for iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 17, and iPhone 17 Air. I developed validation protocols, analyzed yield and failure data, and worked with engineering and manufacturing teams across the United States, China, India, and Singapore.
- iPhone 15 Pro Max, display integration: I designed and tested the frame integrating the OLED display into the titanium housing. I investigated display delamination and quality defects during engineering development, using CT scans, time-of-flight simulations, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and finite element analysis (FEA) to guide corrective actions.
- iPhone 17, antenna module: I designed and tested the antenna module, working on components for Wi-Fi, GPS, 5G+, NFC, and Bluetooth. I addressed bandwidth variation and cellular signal strength through clad-housing design changes and tolerance analyses of grounding clips, electrical cables, and shielding components.
- iPhone Air, sealing and validation: I engineered thin adhesive structures to achieve IP68 water and dust resistance within the device’s height constraints. I developed pneumatic pressure and leak-testing protocols to validate seal integrity under thermal and mechanical stress cycling.
Meta
Product Design Engineer Intern · June 2021–August 2021
At Meta, I designed an experimental privacy slider for Oculus Quest 2, including plastic enclosures, injection-molding considerations, and tolerance stackup analyses. I conducted ergonomics research with more than 20 participants and presented prototype findings to industrial design teams, enabling a 20% reduction in the privacy switch’s footprint. I also ran thermal and humidity tests, collecting more than 20,000 telemetry data points for environmental modeling.
Barclays
Summer Analyst · June 2020–August 2020
At Barclays, I evaluated credit line reduction strategies across Barclaycard portfolios using model analytics, regulatory standards, and commercial exclusion policies. I analyzed operational and policy differences across the U.S., Germany, U.K., and Small Business card divisions, and refined targeting parameters for U.S. credit reduction strategies, reducing monthly net credit losses by $13.4 million in July 2020.
BAE Systems
Mechanical Engineering Intern · August 2019–December 2019
At BAE Systems, I designed a hardware interface connecting APKWS electronics with a Honeywell inertial measurement unit, using Creo Sheetmetal for the flex circuit layout. I ran structural and buckling simulations in ANSYS and developed computational fluid dynamics models in STAR-CCM+ to evaluate aerodynamic profiles and support production cost reduction.
