Hey there! 👋
My name is Albert and I am a 4th year Information Systems and Finance Major at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My passion centers around product management, and combined with my experiences in consulting, technical program management, and product management, I am looking to impact change in the tech world.
I am currently a Technical Program Manager Intern at Tesla, driving execution for the Semi Truck team with a focus on chassis development and the body-in-white stamp shop. I manage program timelines, lead cross-functional syncs, and ensure critical path deliverables stay on track. Everyday I leverage tools like Excel, SQL, Power BI, Jira, and CATIA 3DX to bring data-driven clarity to complex manufacturing challenges. I've also had the surreal hands-on experience of building a full frame of the Semi Truck myself! I enjoy breaking the barriers between people and technology - combining my technical knowledge with my creative mind and keen eye for design to create impactful products. My goal is to always deliver products that are scalable and efficient under the hood while providing engaging, pixel-perfect user experiences.
When I'm not in front of a computer screen, I'm probably playing volleyball, cruising around on my electric longboard, or crossing off another item on my bucket list.

Tesla
January 2025 - Present
Technical Program Manager Intern ⛟
At Tesla, I led the beta launch of Tesla’s next-generation Semi Truck by taking ownership of the full product development process for the chassis and body-in-white systems! I worked hands-on with 3DExperience to design, test, and validate 3D models while using FMEA testing to make sure our designs could scale in production. A big part of my role was working directly with engineers on the ground – bridging the gap between what was designed on paper and what could actually be built on the assembly line. To keep everything moving fast and on track, I built custom tracking systems using Jira, SQL, Java, Excel, and Power BI, helping the team resolve issues quicker and stay aligned across design, process, and quality engineers. I was able to make a real impact in turning the Semi vision into reality and making sure every part of the truck was built with speed, precision, and innovation!
