Work Background
Yourgene Health CanadaProduct Development Engineer
Jun. 2022Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, CanadaResearching and developing products/applications for automated electrophoresis technologies My work includes the following skillsets: -Project management
-Mechanical CAD design
-Electronics/PCB design
-Software development
-Optical/imaging design

LandyachtzEngineering Specialist
Feb. 2021 - Jun. 2022Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaLeveraging my experience in materials engineering and composites to build a new research and development regime for Versal Manufacturing. -Built machine learning pipelines for materials testing to expedite product development (scikit-learn, python, jupyter, mysql)
-Designed and produced robotics, full-stack software and other tools to improve production throughput
-Leveraged my materials engineering expertise to introduce standardized non-invasive QC processes
The University of British ColumbiaGraduate Researcher
Sep. 2019 - Aug. 2021Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaMy goal for this work was to gain a better understanding of the challenges in bringing sophisticated technology from lab to market. My thesis project included a systematic review of a novel multidimensional spectroscopy instrument which had been engineered to proof-of-concept by previous students in my group for the purpose of characterizing thermal phenomena in carbon nanotubes. I modelled the mechanical and optical (high powered lasers, various ranges and intensities of infrared) systems in Solidworks and Zemax OpticStudio which I used to identify critical component/process upgrades for the purpose of repeatability and scalability including building a full-stack control/automation software, developing the ultra-high vacuum and opto-mechanical components, and building an analytical post-processing model. During this time, I gained an appreciation for the complexities that can arise when designing complex and multi-dimensional systems, and how to mitigate the associated risks.
