Weston Mauz

Intro

Hi, my name is Weston Mauz. I am a Mechanical Engineer, Data Scientist, & Software Developer based in the United States of America. I am a natural born leader who enjoys problem solving, learning new skills, & taking on unique / challenging projects.

I spend my time working towards my many goals, which spread across many disciplines, including:

1. Engineering
2. Software Development
3. Data Science
4. Design
5. Philosphy
6. and more...

I enjoy bringing others along as I tackle new projects as I am able to help them accomplish their own goals in the process. I am continually looking for new ways to improve myself, as there is always something new to learn.

California Institue of Technology

Certificate - Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

2022 - 2023

I completed a 6-month online program through CalTech where I learned the fundamentals of artificial intelligence & machine learning. I learned the tools needed to build models & how to apply these skills to solve real-world problems.

The program was divided into 6 courses:

1. Introduction to Aritifical Intelligence
2. Python for Data Science
3. Applied Data Science with Python
4. Machine Learning
5. Deep Learning with Keras & Tensorflow
6. Advanced Deep Learning & Computer Vision

Colorado School of Mines

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

2014 - 2019

I graduated from CSM after 5 years of study. I learned the fundamentals of engineering, began my study of computer science, & participated in extracurricular activities such as Ultimate Frisbee & Ski Racing.

Some notable classes include:

1. Calculus I,II, III, and Differential Equations
2. Programming Concepts & Data Structures
3. Circuits & Feedback Control
4. Fluid Mechanics I & II
5. Heat Transfer
6. Machine Design

I spent one semester of school abroad in Madrid, Spain, at Universidad Pontificia Comillas. I took classes in Spanish to further my understanding of the language, while continuing forward on my path as an engineer.

I spent another semester away from school to take an internship as a Heading Engineer intern at a tunnel boring operation in downtown Los Angeles. This project was recently completed in 2022 & is now a functional part of the Los Angeles Metro System.

Samsung Austin Semiconductor

Engineer

2023 - current

I am currently working at Samsung Austin Semiconductor as an engineer in the Innovation Branch. Specifically, I am a chiller engineer in the Pumps, Chillers, & Scrubbers department (PCS).

In this role, I am applying data-driven solutions to improve manufacturing efficiency & also driving engineering projects forwards to improve equipment operation.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company

Equipment Engineer

2021 - 2022

I moved to Tainan, Taiwan to work with TSMC as an Equipment Engineer in the nano-diffusion department. Specifically, I was working in the low pressure Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) department.

I went to Taiwan to train as a sponsor of ALD Furnace Tools for the leading edge 5nm semiconductor manufacturing process. The intent was to prepare for the start up the new advanced semiconductor fabrication facility in Phoenix, AZ

Wunderman Thompson Mobile

Associate Software Developer

2019 - 2020

Upon graduation from University, I started working for Wunderman Thompson, previously known as Possible Mobile. I was hired to become a software developer, specializing in iOS applications (Apple products) coded in the Swift & Objective-C languages.

I worked on two different teams during my time there, learning industry front-end & back-end practices for software development. I performed bug fixes & was the part of multiple feature teams.

Callaway Golf

Business Operations Intern

Summer 2018

I participated in business operations for Callaway in San Diego, California, related to the manufacturing of golf clubs.

Traylor Brothers Underground

Heading Engineer Intern

Fall 2017

My second internship, was as a heading engineer for Traylor in tunnel boring in downtown Los Angeles, California.

Kiewit Mining Group

Mechanical Engineer Intern

Summer 2015

My first internship was as a mining engineer for Kiewit on an open pit phosphate mine in Soda Springs, Idaho.

Winged Burro Studios

Co-founder | President

2016 - current

This company is my own that I founded with my good friend & business partner, Kevin Liao.

While we were in university, we decided to give our own company a try, as we wanted to learn new skills in software & in business. We began as an iOS app development firm, though most of the work we did was a learning experience & training for the trade. We developed an app that was published to the official Apple App Store, named MyCaddie, a golf assistant app. We have since made two iOS apps, though they have not been publicly deployed.

To this day, we continue working on the foundation of the company and intend to build it over time. For now, we both have full-time jobs, so progress is slow. Once we have more freedom in our careers, we intend to pivot our initial strategy & break into the world of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning.
