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 signal integrity, semiconductors, and robotics.
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.
