Mountain View, California, United States
I have been building robots for close to two decades, and I am currently working on making them more useful at Sunday Robotics. I had the pleasure of interning at many companies during my time at Waterloo, and learned about engineering across many different company sizes and industries.
First hardware engineer, bringing the hardware from scrappy prototypes to mass production, hiring 20+ people across mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and manufacturing. Scaled local manufacturing production of a wearable data collection device to 10k units per year, shipped to over 1000 people across the US. Led development of a semi-humanoid 32 DOF home robot awaiting testing in homes in late 2026.
Developed customer deployable ground systems for Zipline’s Platform 2 VTOL delivery network, including a dock mounting structure designed for simple installation. Owned the design of service equipment for safely removing and accurately installing 100+ lb docks and 55 lb aircraft, including a novel caster design.
Improved reliability and manufacturability of next-generation drivetrain hardware for Tesla Semi and other drive unit programs. Converted a differential cover design from stamped steel to die casting for better sealing and corrosion performance, completed tolerance analyses that avoided approximately $150K in scrap risk, and prototyped breather concepts to mitigate oil spillage during high lateral G conditions.
Designed automated equipment and manufacturing hardware to support a 100× scale up in implant and charger production. Aided in transfer of charger manufacturing from headquarters to a facililty in Austin, developed an internal charger for reliability testing and animal charging, and helped improve wireless charging coil manufacturing for a future implant revision.
Designed roll-heave decoupled suspension system, implemented for two different seasons. Iterated on kinematics by simulating vehicle dynamics by replaying bump data.
