“To ask the right question is harder than to answer it."
—George Cantor, German mathematician

I’m a Computer Engineering student at Georgia Tech with a life-long love for building products that benefit from tight integration of hardware and software. From custom flight controllers and UAV platforms to embedded interpreters and edge-ML systems, I like to create technology that feels like magic for the end user through interdisciplinary engineering skills.

I grew up in Northern Virginia, right outside of Washington DC, as an only child in a family of engineers and professional problem solvers. Instead of playing with usual toys as a toddler, my dad built me a wooden mock house so I could “wire” it with spare extension cords. I loved it, and couldn’t get enough. At age 6, he taught me how to solder, and I felt overwhelmingly empowered to explore and learn all of the different skills in engineering. This led to prototyping on breadboards and later programming microcontrollers. Eventually, I started applying these skills to solve real problems, learning new ones continuously along the way.

Through research, hands-on internships, personal projects, and independent consulting, I have cultivated deep expertise in low-level embedded programming across and hands-on experience designing multi-layer PCBs optimized for real-world manufacturing constraints. Outside of work, I race drones competitively and lead others through the prototyping process as a makerspace instructor, strengthening my knowledge and helping open the world of engineering to all students.

My goal is to work in a fast paced R&D role where I am constantly working on new projects and tackling new challenges. Coming out of college, I plan to pursue this type of position in a company that focuses on Robotics or UAVs. I appreciate company culture that values interdisciplinary team-based projects, and want to build products that ship. Long-term, I plan to form a startup and make hardware that improves machines performance in constrained, real-world environments.

To prepare for these goals, I will be doing the Create-X Senior Design/Capstone pathway to work with friends on a venture from ideation through prototyping and launch, gaining hands-on experience through a full product cycle and discovering the business side early.

In addition, I want to take advantage of the advanced courses in Robotics and CHEA threads at GT by taking the Apple New Silicon Initiative VLSI courses to develop a strong foundation in low-power chip design that could lead into tapeout of edge AI chips. This aligns with my interests, and I believe that as autonomous systems increasingly rely on onboard inference and the global power budget for AI becomes more constrained this expertise will be a meaningful differentiator.
