Hi! I’m Leela and I’m currently a senior studying Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley, with a passion for product design and mechatronics.
I just finished up an internship at Apple in a mechanical product design role on their Touch and Sensing team. In the past I’ve interned with Blue River Technology, D-Rev, and Sereneti Kitchens.
Mechatronics. I’m currently an undergrad researcher at AUTOLAB, having worked on machine learning-based robot grasp planning projects as well as tool-tip kinematic exploration with Intuitive Surgical’s Da Vinci Robot.
Design. I’m currently an instructor for a student-led, 60 person human centered design class, sponsored by Berkeley Innovation, Cal’s human centered design consultancy. As part of Berkeley Innovation I have served as Director of Education, and have consulted for Elysian Labs, The House, and Owlized.
In my free time you can catch me rock climbing, aggressively meal-prepping burritos, or listening to some beats (current favorite plug).
I’m currently looking for either full-time or internship positions for Summer ‘19 onwards. Feel free to check out my Resume and Linkedin.
Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to reach out - I’d love to chat :)
