Technical Experience

Olin Electric Motorsports Formula SAE – High Voltage Subteam Lead Sep 2024 – Present

  • Leading five subteam members over nine projects including the TSAL-AIL, Data Acquisition, Power Thermistor, Cell Supervisory Circuitry (CSC), and Precharge/Discharge PCBs utilizing KiCad design, fabrication, firmware development, and embedded systems.
  • Individually designing and fabricating the motherboards for both the Battery Management System (BMS) and High Voltage (HV). Building the service section architecture to support system integration and ensure rule compliance for safe high-voltage operation.
  • Previously redesigned dashboard PCB on the Low Voltage subteam and implemented embedded software stack using C (Atmega) and Python (Raspberry Pi) for CAN-based drivability checks; built an Arduino Nano shutdown relay triggered by a touch sensor in C++.

Olin Health Equity & Access Lab (HEAL) – Undergraduate Researcher Jan 2025 – Present

  • Designing a pulse oximetry circuitry under the supervision of Prof. Chhavi Goenka, that accounts for melanin content by isolating DC signal components to quantify skin pigmentation and improve SpO2 accuracy. Presented this work as a research poster and currently transitioning the breadboard prototype to a PCB.
  • Conducting research and working towards a framework for low-cost, non-invasive endometriosis detection using photoacoustic spectroscopy, with emphasis on optimizing light delivery systems, ultrasound transducer selection, and optical image reconstruction.
  • Performed controlled experiments and analyzed tissue optical properties using spectrometers, applying insights from tissue optics literature to validate biomedical sensing approaches and guide system design.

Public Interest Technology (PInT) - Project Manager Sep 2024 – May 2025

  • Led the FarmHacks subteam in designing and prototyping a low-cost thresher for small-scale farming using agile sprint cycles.
  • Collaborated with local agricultural stakeholders to ensure usability, efficiency, and sustainability through community-driven design.
