RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Camacho Firm LC Los Angeles, CA

IT InternSummer 2025

• Led a firm-wide technology integration project to add bilingual (English/Spanish) client intake capability: designed, built, tested, and deployed fillable bilingual PDF intake forms and integrated them into the firm's intake/workflow system to streamline data capture and improve client accessibility.
• Coordinated pilot testing and rollout with staff, performed troubleshooting and iterative improvements based on user feedback.
• Monitored and tracked ongoing legal rulings and policy updates; maintained an up-to-date research tracker and revised materials to ensure attorneys had current information.

PROJECT & RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

YUCCA Lab (Autonomous Agricultural Robot) Merced, CA

Undergraduate ResearcherNov. 2025 – Present

• Built the real-time SLAM and navigation pipeline for an AgileX Scout Mini in ROS 2, integrating FAST-LIO2 LiDAR-inertial odometry against a Livox MID-360 LiDAR and Intel RealSense D435if depth camera and validating 3D pointcloud and mapping output in RViz.
• Brought up the Nav2 autonomous navigation stack on top of the odometry layer, resolving TF frame alignment between FAST-LIO2 and the Scout Mini base to produce a connected, navigable transform tree.
• Designed the hardware architecture and integration plan, mapping power and data flow across a Jetson Nano, LiDAR, depth camera, and CAN bus motor control, and maintaining clean interface boundaries between hardware drivers and the application layer.
• Debugged failures at the seams of the middleware stack, tracing hardware interface mismatches on the CAN bus, inter-process communication issues between ROS 2 nodes, and odometry misalignments in the Nav2 stack in a live real-time system.
• Structured the multi-sensor data pipeline using a nuScenes-style schema to organize LiDAR and RGBD data, and reviewed sensor fusion and perception literature to guide the robot's autonomous navigation design.

PhishGuard (HackMerced XI) Merced, CA

Full-Stack DeveloperMar. 2026

• Developed a full-stack phishing simulation platform using Node.js, Express, and SQLite to allow IT teams to launch mock campaigns and track real-time click-through data.
• Built a responsive security dashboard using React and Vite, implementing modular architecture for seamless campaign creation and user vulnerability tracking.

Unreal Engine Game Development Lathrop, CA

Independent Developer2019 – 2023

• Designed and programmed two interactive games using Unreal Engine, developing skills in game logic, 3D environments, and software troubleshooting.
