Rivian PAAK battery testing framework

@ Rivian Automotive

During my internship at Rivian, I had the opportunity to lead the design and implementation of an automated testing framework for power consumption of the Rivian mobile app.

Phone-as-a-key (PAAK) development interacts closely with OS level functionality like BLE scanning, and if done incorrectly has the potential to quickly drain the charge from mobile devices. Battery consumption tests are critical, but highly time consuming, and need to be run prior to the public release of new app software or vehicle firmware.

In this project, I got to take my idea from, well, an idea, through project proposals, and build it into a fully fledged solution that is currently in use increasing data collection capabilities by over 500% compared with the previous process.

• Conducted thorough research and created project proposals, providing detailed resource estimates and sourcing hardware solutions with cost-benefit analysis presented to management
• Automated the testing process, saving over 20 hrs of developer time per release cycle and ensuring consistency across all releases
• Documented the entire solution, facilitating knowledge transfer and ensuring long-term maintainability

This website?

I made this website from scratch with JS, HTML, CSS. Integrated firebase analytics to count all of the zero monthly visits I get on here...

Spotify genre prediction

This was my very first coding project, which I built for CPSC 210 - a software engineering course at UBC.
I put it on here because this was the project that inspired me to pursue a combined major in CS - had a lot of fun making it.
