Engineering Experience
Haptic Directional Guide Device – Project Manager
During my time at New York University Tandon I had the opportunity to serve as Project Manager for my Introduction to Engineering and Design course, my group developed a wearable navigation device designed to assist visually impaired individuals, bikers, pedestrians, drivers, etc through haptic feedback. My responsibilities included authoring technical memos/reports, delegating mechanical and coding tasks, circuitry soldering, and Computer Aided Drawing development.
Procter & Gamble x GCA Early Talent Competition – Participant
As a participant in the Procter & Gamble x GCA Early Talent Competition, I developed “Aloha Fix,” a multi-functional product focused on clothing care, stain removal, and freshness enhancement. The project involved conducting consumer research on Generation Z preferences, identifying demand for sustainable and convenient product solutions, and developing a refillable, low-waste design model. I presented the concept through a comprehensive presentation for judges.
