Electrical Engineering Student • Embedded Systems • PCB Design

I am an electrical engineering student focused on embedded systems, custom PCB design, and autonomous robotics. I enjoy building complex hardware and firmware systems from the ground up.

Background

I have been practicing electronics since the age of six, when I discovered Snap Circuits for the first time. I went on to compete in Circuit Lab in Science Olympiad from fifth-grade until eighth-grade, when they discontinued the event. In highschool I competed in various other electronics-related events, ranging from antenna theory, digital sensors and semiconductors, autonomous robots, and electric vehicles.

Engineering Philosophy

I practice electronics for the love of knowledge and discovery.

As a kid, I would often disassemble any old, broken electronics I could get my hands on and spend nights thinking about how such a complex device might work. Electronics had always felt like magic, and as I learned, it felt like I had gained part of this magical ability. Even now, electronics feels magical. Any time I build a complex machine or robot, I step back and remember how a much younger me couldn't even fathom the intricacies of such a device.
