Silicon systems + embedded intelligence
Computer Engineering student at Georgia Tech with 4 years of experience spanning chip design, embedded systems, distributed software, and data-driven tooling.
Currently building new projects and open to research and internship opportunities. Reach out anytime.
My passion for technology has led me to build projects across embedded systems, hardware-software co-design, automation, and web development. My current research in Robotic Human Augmentation at Georgia Tech has deepened my understanding of biomedical innovation and the importance of universal healthcare coverage, while my experience in UGA's CURO Research Program allowed me to explore astrophysics and computational research under the guidance of Dr. Nandana Weliweriya and Professor Inseok Song. I was awarded a $1000 CURO Research Reward and had the opportunity to present at the Spring 2024 CURO Research Symposium.
Outside of engineering, I enjoy digital music production in FL Studio and optimizing 3D rendering workflows in Blender.
I am especially interested in aerospace engineering and national security initiatives.
I am currently seeking an internship or co-op as a Cloud Computing and Infrastructure Security Engineer, Embedded Systems and Computing Hardware Engineer, or Software Engineer.
My interest in aerospace inspired me to build an API for an air traffic control system interfaced with an FPGA on a DE10 development board. I am currently building a cybersecurity homelab to deepen my knowledge of network security.
My ambition is to deepen my expertise in chip design, GPU architecture, integrating AI and ML into my workflows, and building secure cyber-physical and embedded systems.
Organized into nine focused domains spanning architecture, physical design, semiconductors, embedded systems and PCB design, firmware, AI, cloud, software, and collaboration.

Exoskeleton and Prosthetic Intelligent Controls (EPIC) Lab
Atlanta, GA
Designed a power/control PCB in EasyEDA to replace legacy perfboard hardware, integrating battery input, 24V-to-20V buck regulation for Nvidia Jetson, XT30 motor distribution, and MoCap interfaces to improve robustness. Integrated a CAN transceiver between Jetson Orin and four motor drivers, translating logic-level TX/RX to CANH/CANL for real-time ML-driven balance-assist commands. Implemented a remote E-stop protocol with Jetson-controlled MOSFET gating for software-driven motor cutoff and soldered 20 backup cables for redundancy. Optimized a multi-IMU processing stack in Python on Linux, reducing sensor count and data volume by 40% with about 5% deviation from hip-torque ground truth. Built a modular MATLAB analytics pipeline to benchmark four ML forecast models across 24 treadmill-perturbation conditions and 16 patient datasets.
