Growth Hacking @ OpenGov is transforming complex government finance and budgetary data into powerful information to enhance decision-making and improve transparency. I design business processes, study the market, and propose new tactics. From July 2014 to Present (1 year 6 months) Electrical Engineering Intern @ Worked with Qualcomm's internal science and engineering team to support various programs. Developed an in-house tool to rapidly approximate RF exposure from a wireless car charging unit (Qualcomm Halo). The tool provides near-instantaneous accurate approximations with available data and software tools. I also supported a Corporate R&D 5G radio program and an effort to modify SAR compliance that would reduce handset testing complexity and enable the FCC to modify SAR regulation. From June 2013 to September 2013 (4 months) Greater San Diego AreaSoftware Engineer @ Worked on problems ranging from machine learning to intelligent city benchmarking. For benchmarking, I developed a tool that compares certain cities to other cities taking into account demographic, economic, and climate profiles. For example, if one wanted to benchmark Palo Alto's energy usage, the tool would compare Palo Alto to cities with similar features most relevant to energy usage like climate, population, amount of industry, and population density. From March 2012 to September 2012 (7 months) Researcher @ California Common Sense is dedicated to improving transparency and promoting data driven decision-making in government. As a member of the staff, I participate in numerous projects ranging from studying various governmental programs to working on data analysis and visualization programs. From November 2010 to December 2011 (1 year 2 months) Undergrad Research Assistant (Electric Propulsion and Plasma Science group) @ I worked on plasma related problems on spacecraft with the Electric Propulsion and Plasma Science group. This included running various tests to search for crippling multipactor related problems in flight hardware before launch. My research also included developing and validating a novel instrument to detect and measure multipactor and plasma discharge inside sealed RF components. This instrument dramatically simplifies the procedure for detecting multipactor while greatly enhancing the resolution of multipactor measurements. From June 2011 to September 2011 (4 months) Electrical Engineering Intern @ As an engineering intern with the Electronics and Sensors Division I worked on various RF projects for internal R&D and the US Government. These projects ranged from designing and running an Electromagnetic Interference test procedure to the assembly and performance verification of a high performance microwave converter for the US government. From June 2010 to December 2010 (7 months)
