About

Engineering dependable systems from silicon to software.

I’m pursuing a B.S. in Computer Engineering at Iowa State University (May 2027) with a focus on embedded systems design, digital logic, and resilient computing architectures.

How I Work

I prototype quickly, simulate relentlessly, and deliver solutions that balance power efficiency with maintainability—always backed by validated test benches and tight feedback loops.

Core Strengths

  • Embedded firmware & microcontroller integration
  • Digital design with VHDL, Verilog, and QuestaSim
  • Secure backend services with FastAPI & Spring Boot
  • Team collaboration with Git, CI/CD, and agile rituals

Recent Focus

Designing custom RISC-V pipelines, orchestrating cross-platform safety apps, and optimizing real-time robotics firmware to respond faster in dynamic environments.

Experience

Making infrastructure smarter for the people who rely on it.

Highlights from roles where I ship dependable technology and support the humans behind it.
