  Jul 2012 - Sept 2018

  IT Management Consultant

  For several years while also attending school, I delivered IT services to enterprise brewing, hospitality, and education sector clients. I specialized in cloud architectures, virtualization technologies, cyber security, and networking.Among various initiatives, one of the projects that was a highlight for me as an IT Management Consultant was conducting a cloud technology migration for a hotel chain client, eliminating considerable costs by decommissioning over 10 physical servers, supporting over 500 users, and empowering them with a self-sustaining system.

  COMMUNITY ROBOTICS LEARNING FOUNDATION

  Mar 2015 - Aug 2017

  Mentor | Intern

  I was proud to be a part of CRLF’s robotics program, which was a first of its kind and now serves as a model for other robotics programs in the district. At CRLF, I fulfilled my passion for teaching and sharing knowledge by serving as a mentor. I taught 150+ students robotics programming and STEM for robotics, as well as privately tutored select students in computer science.Through this work I built proficiency in humanoid, submersible, aerial and ground robotics.

  Accelerating the adoption of AI to advance aerospace.Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we all do business. Our vision at Proximai is to work with our clients to expedite the adoption of AI to get ahead of this change, so that they can increase profit, save time and costs, and ultimately grow.Our passion lies directly in the aerospace industry, and we realize that space organizations have a moonshot problem. Going the distance is of course largely about physics, but also about how sophisticated systems need to be to apply those advanced physics, and enable new areas of exploration. We believe that AI is the answer.That’s why we’re currently developing and accepting waiting list clients for the beta version of solutions that will:● Increase innovation in propulsion simulation● Advance launch window prediction accuracy● Facilitate the exchange and sharing of data and AI knowledgeThere’s been an upsurge in the number of space start-ups looking to create smaller, reusable rocket propulsion and rocket engine testing systems. To assist the need for rapid prototyping, we are developing a propulsion simulator powered by AI.In addition to these solutions, we partner with clients across varied aerospace sectors to provide AI-as-a-Service consulting. Our investments in leading architecture from NVIDIA DGX, Microsoft Azure, labor resources from GAIN (Global Artificial Intelligence Network) and support from Cal Poly SLO Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship deliver competitive advantages to your team’s research and development efforts.At Proximai, with our commitment to advancing AI and commercial space initiatives, we are active sponsors of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA.org) as well as the International Astronautical Federation (IAFAstro.org).
