About Me

I am a second year Computer Engineering major at Georgia Tech. My threads are in Computer Hardware & Emerging Architectures and Devices. I intend on graduating in May 2024. I love doing research in ECE, especially in areas of robotics and hardware.

I am a member of the Yellow Jackets Space Program (YJSP). A part of the Launch Electrical Team, I design and build circuits for stepper drivers and resistor temperature detectors. Our goal is to become the first collegiate team to launch a fuel-based rocket into space. YJSP has sparked my interest in designing and creating electronics.

I am also a researcher at Georgia Tech’s Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) RoboSense. As a team member, I currently program a Proportional Integral Derivative controller for a Movable Underwater Robot in Python. We are in the process of testing the robot and refining the controller code to ensure the aquatic functionality of the motors.

In freshman year, I was also a part of VIP Augmented Reality Experiences. Alongside a small team, I helped design objects in Blender for our Virtual Hubs Gallery, created by Dr. Jay Bolter.

I am from Scotts Valley, CA. I love visiting the beach and going on forest hikes. Both of these activities help clear my mind, and are favorite things to do. Fun fact, I do know how to surf.

My next goal is to pursue a master's program in ECE, as soon as I finish my bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering. I would prefer to be back at Georgia Tech, but I would be fine with any other school. The total cost of this program is around 26 thousand dollars. I intend on taking loans and securing a GRA or GTA position during my studies. After grad school, I want to work as a Research and Development Engineer for computer hardware systems. Some of the steps I need to do are the following: secure good internships every summer to gain work experience, maintain a high GPA during undergrad, continue working on research under professors and grad students, and most importantly, sticking to my passions. After education, I will learn how to network properly, boost up my resume as much as I can, and learn many more skills.

Technical Skills

Circuit/PCB Design: I am familiar in using Altium Designer or other CAD tools when drawing schematics for circuits. Most of my knowledge comes from ECE 2040 (Circuit Analysis) when trying to simplify circuits as much as possible.

Raspberry Pi: During my time in VIP, I taught myself how to operate a functioning Pi module when helping create object-detection code for our Movable Underwater Robot.

Soldering: I am very adept in soldering when it comes to hardware creation. I soldered all resistors, capacitors, microcontrollers, and header pins for all the hardware we used in VIP including acoustic and IR modems.

Essential Skills

Communication: I am very good when it comes to electronic communication, when it comes to responding on time for emails or other matters.

Creativity: I always try to think "out of the box" when it comes to finding new technical solutions. I am very resourceful in finding methods to approach solving problems.
