Industry History

Apple - Los Angeles Metropolitan Area

Summer 2025

Sensor Algorithm Intern

• Developed a novel sensing algorithm that reduced false positives by 30% on user study data

• Modeled product-specific timer variation in Python, resulting in the down selection of firmware builds, which reduced the max percent of samples out of spec across standard device states by 47%

• Researched timer variation impact on sensing algorithm performance by injecting simulated jitter into user study data from a previous product to simulate state machine changes due to jitter using C/C++ and communicated results to cross-functional teams
