Silicon systems + embedded intelligence
Computer Engineering major with a Materials Science Engineering minor at Georgia Tech, building systems at the intersection of chip design, embedded hardware, and real-world impact.
Looking for full-time roles in technology that improves lives and expands the frontier of human capability.
I'm an electrical and computer engineering student passionate about embedded systems, hardware-software co-design, semiconductor technology, automation, and secure computing. Through engineering projects and internships, I've developed experience with firmware, hardware integration, systems engineering, and software development.
Outside of engineering, I enjoy hiking, traveling, trying new activities, producing digital music, and exploring 3D design workflows. I value meeting new people, building meaningful connections, and forming lifelong friendships.
I'm pursuing opportunities in embedded systems, semiconductor manufacturing, systems engineering, aerospace, cybersecurity, and software development. I'm especially interested in building reliable, secure, and practical technology that connects hardware and software.
My long-term goal is to deepen my expertise in embedded and cyber-physical systems, chip and GPU architecture, and AI-enabled engineering workflows while contributing to impactful technical projects.

Jun 2026 - PresentSiliconJackets · Part-time
Atlanta, Georgia, United States · On-site
Executed automated RTL-to-GDSII chip place-and-route flows on open-source Tapeout RTL pipeline blocks in Cadence Innovus on Linux servers, collecting post-route timing and area metrics including Worst Negative Slack (WNS) for the team’s block-level characterization effort. Completed chip layout for the execute stage in the SkyWater 130 nm PDK flow with zero design-rule violations, passing timing, and identified an unresolved dependency blocking final sign-off, escalating the issue to the Digital Design and Verification teams. Diagnosed flow failures across four combinational blocks (ALU, hazard unit, control unit, and forward unit), tracing the root cause to a mismatch between the flow’s timing assumptions and clockless logic, and documented findings in GitHub Issues. Resolved the ALU flow failure by modifying the SystemVerilog RTL in VS Code to add sequential logic wrappers, enabling timing analysis to complete and unlocking critical performance metrics for tapeout planning.

Atlanta, GA, United States · On-site
Designed a power/control PCB in EasyEDA to upgrade legacy perfboard assembly, integrated battery input, 24V-to-20V buck regulation for the Nvidia Jetson controller, XT30 motor power distribution, and MoCap interfaces, improving robustness of the robotic hip exoskeleton electrical hardware. Integrated a CAN transceiver between the Jetson Orin controller and four motor drivers, converting logic-level TX/RX signals to 2-wire CANH/CANL bus communication, enabling real-time, ML-driven balance-assist commands for the biomedical hip exoskeleton suit over the CAN network. Reworked the system with a remote E-stop protocol by prototyping Jetson-controlled MOSFET gating for software-driven motor power cutoff and soldered 20 backup cables to ensure system redundancy and reliability. Optimized a multi-IMU data-processing stack in Python on Linux, reducing sensor count and data volume by 40% with only 5% deviation from hip-torque ground truth, enabling faster model training and lower real-time streaming bandwidth. Engineered a modular MATLAB analytics pipeline to benchmark four ML forecast models across 24 treadmill-perturbation conditions and 16 hip-exoskeleton patient datasets, computing subject-level R²/RMSE and generating data visualizations for model selection.
