In 2019-2020, I worked on a research report for Engineering for Change. Specifically, we are conducted research into the state of Engineering for Global Development in North America.

The research we are looking to includes Water, Health, Infrastructure, Transportation, Habitat, and Sanitation. Specifically, we are looking for research that pertains to these sectors in developing countries. The paper and report were presented at the Impact Engineered Conference in October 2019, and the publication is available here.

This summer, I had the opportunity to work at Amazon Lab126 as a Technical Program Manager Intern. Specifically, I was working on customer safety-related escalations. My work consisted of a combination of engineering and product-management related tasks.

Specific tasks included researching particular products and driving initiatives follow the data analysis. My days consisted of:

1. Rigorous data analysis to understand and define issues.
2. Designing and conducting reliability experiments.
3. Communicating these results to engineering teams and leadership.

My internship culminated in a white paper, several interim research reports, and a better understanding and appreciation for safety and sustainability in the product development lifecycle.
