I'm a creative engineer passionate about turning unique ideas into reality.
I'm an Electrical Engineering student at CU Boulder with a passion for robotics, semiconductors, and FPGA design.
I'm driven by creativity and the challenge of turning ideas into fully functional systems. Many of my projects start with skills I have yet to learn and gaining that knowledge is one of my favorite parts of the process.
Industry, research, and leadership roles
Hyperlabs Inc.
Leading a 6-person team building a computer-vision-guided automated TDR probing system. Integrating precision motion control, real-time vision feedback, and impedance profiling. Coordinate reviews and milestones with Hyperlabs engineers.
Micron Technology
Developed optimized Python and Perl scripts to accelerate HBM test flows, improving reliability and efficiency. Improved release scripts used across Boise, Taiwan, and Japan engineering teams. Designed a custom data-compression method achieving ~30% reduction while maintaining readability, resolving memory bottlenecks in test infrastructure.
Computer Architecture Lab @ CU Boulder
Designed FPGA accelerators for the S-IAM climate-economy model using Spartan-7 and Zynq-7000 SoCs. Developed custom Verilog and HLS pipelines for hardware/software co-design. Leveraged heterogeneous ARM-FPGA architecture to improve performance through optimized workload partitioning.
ECEN1310 - C Programming for ECE
Developed full-semester curriculum including labs, homework, and exams. Supported course delivery through labs, office hours, and grading. Delivered lectures as needed to maintain instructional continuity.
Selected personal and academic engineering projects
Designed and built a low-cost autonomous mobility platform using computer-vision-based object tracking and following. Integrated Python, OpenCV, hub motors, and control electronics.
Fabricated and tuned a custom RC airplane with 3D-printed structural components and onboard video system. Performed multiple rebuilds to optimize performance, stability and propulsion.
Built a small-scale ion propulsion system using a custom high-voltage amplifier. Experimented with plasma formation and nozzle design.
Designed custom PCB systems for power distribution, CAN networking, and onboard diagnostics. Built an ESC backplane, sensor-monitoring stack, and microcontroller interface hat that improved modularity, debugging speed, and integration with thrusters, sensors, and Jetson compute hardware.
In-progress autonomous quadcopter with GPS-guided navigation, precision landing, long-range telemetry, and advanced avionics integration.
