Biography/About Me

I’ve always been the kind of person who likes to take things apart just to see how they work. When I was younger that usually meant computers, old phones, or random electronics I wasn’t supposed to touch. Most of the time I couldn’t put them back together perfectly, but that was never really the point. What mattered was understanding why something worked the way it did. That same curiosity has shaped everything I’ve done since.

At Georgia Tech I’ve had the chance to turn that curiosity into something real. I’ve built projects that combine hardware and software, from simple circuits to full embedded systems. I’ve worked on everything from RISC V assembly and VHDL processor designs to ESP32 projects that connect sensors, displays, and motors into systems that actually do something useful. There’s a special kind of satisfaction in watching a project finally come to life, when the LED blinks at the right time, the data starts flowing, or the display shows exactly what you coded it to.

I like challenges that make me think across layers, how software interacts with hardware, how timing or bit level details can make or break a design. I’ve learned that most problems aren’t solved by huge breakthroughs but by patience, iteration, and the small discoveries you make while debugging. That process has taught me to stay curious, to keep learning, and to enjoy the grind that comes with engineering.

Outside of school I’m usually still building something, repairing my car, designing small boards, or sketching ideas for a project I want to build one day. I play basketball whenever I can, whether it’s a quick pickup game with friends or just shooting around to clear my head. I also enjoy board games because they let me think strategically but still relax and have fun with people. Traveling is something I really value too. Seeing new places, meeting new people, and learning how others live has given me a better sense of perspective and balance. 

What drives me most is the idea of creating systems that make life smarter, safer, or more connected. I don’t just want to understand how things work, I want to build new things that work better. Every project, no matter how small, feels like a step in that direction.
