Experience & background.
Android & Mixed Reality Engineer — Mercedes-Benz Research and Development
3 years
I worked as an engineer in the automotive industry, focusing on Android applications and mixed reality solutions. My work included:
- Building tools that helped internal teams visualize and interact with data.
- Developing Android apps with real constraints and real usage.
- Contributing to mixed reality experiences tied to automotive workflows.
- Collaborating with teams across different functions to ship reliable solutions.
This experience shaped how I think about production systems, users with clear jobs to be done, and the importance of stability.
Graduate Studies — Computer Science at USC
At USC, I’ve focused on areas that sit between systems and interaction:
- Advanced mobile development and architecture.
- Interactive systems and game-like experiences.
- Multimedia and real-time processing.
Projects like SenseMap and SenseDev came out of this work—combining theory, experimentation, and practical engineering.
Undergraduate Research (2019–2020)
During my undergraduate studies, I authored a peer-reviewed conference paper exploring how mobile-based augmented reality can enhance science education for middle school students. The system included an interactive AR newspaper feature and a full AR solar system simulation.
