Pre-Engineering • Applied Systems • Irvine, CA
Building reliable systems from concept to field reality.
I’m Soren New, a BS pre-engineering student with hands-on experience across testing, mechanical troubleshooting, project support, applied physics, and technical product building.
About
Engineering mindset with practical range.
My work blends field troubleshooting, project documentation, technical experimentation, and systems thinking. I care about efficiency, reliability, and learning fast in environments where safety and execution both matter.
“I want to contribute to projects that matter, while growing through disciplined hands-on engineering work.”
What I’m pursuing
- Engineering internship opportunities with strong mentoring and technical growth.
- Roles involving field support, testing, design iteration, or technical operations.
- Team environments focused on meaningful breakthroughs and measurable results.
Projects
Selected project portfolio.
These highlight range across applied engineering, AI systems, automation, predictive modeling, embedded work, and product-focused experimentation.
Sorfin
Founder and owner of a multi-agent visual management system designed with ADHD-friendly organization and workflow clarity in mind.
READ THE CASE STUDYVehicle Systems & Garage Builds
Rebuilt engines, installed performance systems, and handled troubleshooting tied to cooling, pressure, and practical field problem solving.
Multi-Wavelength Detection Concepts
Built and explored detection concepts combining radar, Wi-Fi, and lidar-style sensing approaches for signal awareness and technical experimentation.
Rocket & Flight Projects
Worked on rocket-related projects and trajectory-focused modeling while preparing toward L1 and L2 licensing goals.
Prediction Systems
Developed and co-authored predictive systems for NASCAR and NBA scenarios with a focus on multi-variable analysis and decision support.
Robotics, PCB, and Modular Systems
Worked with VEX and Python-based robotics, PCB creation, and modular computer system design for practical technical builds.
Security & Detection Labs
Explored internal detection concepts and Windows-focused pentesting lab systems from a defensive and analytical perspective.
Business & Product Operations
Managed an LLC for car rentals, supported sales through public relations, built revenue-oriented Roblox games, and worked on lithium battery recycling efforts.
The Mission
A personal operating system that holds the whole context, so the person running it doesn't have to
[WELCOME INSIDE]
That's the whole machine, right there. Not a demo repo, not a folder cleaned up for a portfolio screenshot — the actual working directory Sorfin runs out of.
Read it like an anatomy chart. memory_store is what it remembers. camera_shots is
what it sees. council_store is where the five Masters argue. cad_store is where it
builds. knowledge_store is everything it has read. And yolo11n.pt is five
megabytes of it learning to tell objects apart.
Nothing in there is decorative. If a folder exists, something is writing to it.
[01 STRATEGY]
Sorfin started from a constraint, not a feature list: an ADHD-aware workflow where nothing important lives only in working memory. Every decision in the system answers to that — if an output can't be seen or acted on, it doesn't ship.
[02 CONCEPT]
One orchestrator, five specialized agents. The orchestrator routes intent and holds state; each Master owns a domain and reports back in a shared format. Vector memory keeps prior work reachable instead of re-explained.
[03 DESIGN]
Mission Control is the single surface. Status, agent activity, and open threads sit on one screen with no nested menus, because a menu is a place for work to disappear. Every result gets a visual or interactive equivalent.
[04 REASONING]
A five-lens framework runs across every agent: Contrarian, First Principles, Expansionist, Outsider, Executor. Same question, five angles, so the system argues with itself before it hands anything over.
[05 BUILD]
Shipped in phases against a real workload rather than a demo. Screenshot capture, a camera pipeline, an ontology graph, and a CAD co-pilot each entered as their own phase, tested on live use before the next one opened.
Experience
Hands-on work across technical and customer-facing roles.
