  Collaborated on projects for innovation strategy consulting firm’s major clients, Kraft Heinz and Chamberlain Group, researching consumer relationships and attitudes. Worked on projects for Kraft Heinz’s major brands, Kraft Mac and Cheese, Delimex, and Cheese Singles, including strategic restructuring necessitated by pandemic-related economic impact, consumer impact from branding campaigns and on-pack information architecture, and innovation in packaging design. Attended all interviews, analyzed interview transcripts, and provided relevant verbatims to support strategic direction of final reporting, and joined in final deliverable meetings with client. Participated in an early product innovation project for Chamberlain Group’s major B2B brands, meeting in-person with UX and engineering development team to kick off and ensure alignment on project objectives.

  Exploring multi-agent learning through neural networks and PyTorch under the Interactive Robotics Group. Programmed an image classifier to learn the basics of training/testing sets and tracking accuracy. Conducted several tests using a variational autoencoder by changing different variables (ie. latent dimension) to understand each working component of the autoencoder through visualization.

  Focused on mechanical design and began learning Robot Operating System (ROS). Used Autodesk Fusion 360 and Autodesk Inventor to create, design, and improve 3D printed parts for the drone research projects. Examples of such parts include onboard camera holders, detection plates, and detachment devices for the payloads. Learned the basics of ROS and plan to explore its capabilities with a camera detection project. Focused on mechanical design and began learning Robot Operating System (ROS).

  Designed a housing cassette with blood collection capability for COVID-19 serological lateral flow immunoassay kit in a remote project advised by Dr. Roche de Guzman of Bioengineering Materials Lab. Used Autodesk Inventor to create hand-drawn sketches and 3D models of the cassette. Developed and tested several prototype iterations to minimize size and retain full functionality.
