Experience

Electrical Subteam Lead
Astrobotics
Aug 2024 — Present · Blacksburg, VA, US
As a member of the Astrobotics Electrical Subteam, I contributed to the design and development of a competition-ready autonomous/teleop robot for NASA’s 2025 Lunabotics Challenge. My work focused on high-reliability PCB design using KiCad, with mixed SMD/THT component integration optimized for harsh lunar-like environments. I led fabrication efforts, implemented robust testing protocols, and collaborated across mechanical and software teams to ensure seamless system integration.Now serving as Electrical Subteam Lead, I’m committed to fostering a hands-on, growth-oriented environment for new members, mirroring the mentorship and technical exposure that shaped my own experience. I aim to expand our capabilities in power system design with modular attachment capabilities, sensor integration, technical documentation, and cross-subteam communication for peak efficiency. This role allows me to refine my leadership, deepen my understanding of robotics systems, and drive innovation in real-world engineering challenges.

Current company

REACH! Asian & Asian Diaspora Retention & Recruitment Center

20 employees · Founded 1994 · Berkeley, California, United States

REACH! is the Asian/Pacific Islander Recruitment and Retention Center at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1994, REACH! began with a handful of committed folks, as a program under the Asian Student Union (ASU) at UC Berkeley to target “Asian Pacific American, high school students, especially those who are underrepresented, low-income, and non-college tracked”. Its goals were two-fold: 1) promoting higher education as an attainable goal and 2) empowering students through “building ethnic pride and programs that foster community activism and support APA youth culture”. As REACH! grew organizationally, the vision and purpose of REACH! grew with it. While the mission remained, “the service and empowerment of recent immigrant and urban Asian Pacific Americans living in at-risk life situations,” we added on that “Our goal is to promote higher education as a means to empower ourselves and improve the economic and social conditions facing our communities.” We saw that REACH! had a unique role on campus and in the API community at large, because REACH! was not just going to increase the numbers of underrepresented Asians at Berkeley but REACH! would be a training ground for future educators, activists, and leaders who would address society’s injustices through their life’s work. Thus, we created programs to raise political awareness, build coalitions, develop youth leaders, and build leadership in ourselves. Each year, programs have been refined and recreated by (insanely) dedicated and intelligent coordinators, who look for a better way to do things. However, our single most important legacy is the steady stream of community leaders we have and will produce. REACH! Mission Statement: "Committed to the service, empowerment, and mobilization of immigrant, refugee, and underserved Asian/Pacific Islanders by promoting higher education to empower ourselves and challenge the economic and social inequalities facing our communities" Educate, Empower, Change.
