About Me 🍓

Some things about me
I'm a third year student at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Originally from Cary, North Carolina, I'm currently based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My academic interests include embedded and computer systems.

Currently, I am a Driver Interaction and Connectivity Intern at Volvo Group. Previously, I was a Teaching Assistant for Intro to Electrical and Computer Engineering where I led weekly lab groups and conducted office hours. And prior to that, I interned with NC State University's Computer Science Department where I developed educational software programs for K-12 teachers.

Outside of work, you'll probably find me trying new food in Pittsburgh, hiking western North Carolina, or curating Spotify playlists. Feel free to reach out at alobo@andrew.cmu.edu

Projects 📈

A few projects I worked on
  • Spotify Insights

    Developed an application using Spotify Web API that scrapes a Spotify User's listening habits, creates a graph-based recommendations playlist, and adds it to the user's Spotify account. Allows two users to compare and view listening insights and generates blended playlist based on listening data.
    Python, Spotify Web API, Tkinter, Matplotlib

  • Swerve Drive Module

    Designed a functional swerve drive module using SolidWorks (drive system that allows each wheel to rotate while also pivoting on its vertical axis), led a team of six to fabricate (using CNC, bandsaw, metal lathe), assemble, and test the module.
