Collaborative Engineering Projects
This section features collaborative projects where I worked with teams to design and develop innovative solutions. My role focused on combining technical problem-solving with creative thinking, contributing to both the functionality and user-centered aspects of each project.
Demonstration of a real-time monitoring system that uses sensor data to detect overheating, assess risk, and trigger automated alerts to prevent infrastructure failure, with a visual indicator light signaling when the pump reaches critical conditions.
Chevron Hackathon – 2nd Place (Team Project)
Problem Statement: Lack of real-time monitoring can cause overheating in critical pumps to go undetected, leading to system failure and safety risks.
Earned 2nd Place in a Chevron-sponsored engineering hackathon for developing a real-time infrastructure monitoring solution
Designed and prototyped a pump monitoring system to detect overheating and prevent equipment failure
Contributed to hardware integration and system development using Raspberry Pi and environmental sensors
Implemented sensor-based data collection to simulate oil, water, and gas conditions and monitor system health
Developed an automated alert system that triggers warnings, generates maintenance tickets, and provides AI-based summaries during failures
Integrated a visual indicator (LED) to signal critical overheating conditions in real time
Collaborated in a fast-paced team environment to design, build, and present a functional solution within 24 hours
Translated raw sensor data into actionable insights to improve response time, safety, and infrastructure reliability
Custom Makeup Storage System (Senior Design Project)
Problem Statement: Makeup products are often damaged during travel due to inadequate storage and protection.
Designed a custom makeup storage system to reduce damage, leakage, and product loss during travel
Developed a web-based interface to generate personalized storage configurations based on user input
Created CAD-driven layouts for manufacturing custom-fit compartments
Engineered a push-push release mechanism for intuitive product access and removal
Integrated foam materials to absorb moisture and mitigate spill-related damage
Applied human-centered design to improve usability and product interaction
Collaborated in a team to deliver a combined hardware and software solution
