About

I'm an Electrical Engineering student at Cal Poly SLO with a passion for building things that work — from firmware and circuit design to full hardware prototypes. I enjoy the full loop: simulating a design, laying out the PCB, building it on the bench, and proving it out on an oscilloscope.

Outside of engineering, I'm an avid mountain biker and former coach, which taught me a lot about leadership, real-time decision-making, and communicating clearly under pressure.

I'm currently seeking internships and research opportunities in EE, embedded systems, or hardware design for Summer 2026.

Projects

Solo Project

Arduino Light vs Sound Reaction Time Tester

Designed and built a reaction-time testing system that measures and compares user response to both light and sound stimuli. Used hardware interrupts in C++ for millisecond-precision timing, with results displayed live on an LCD.

4-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)

Designed and simulated a 4-bit DAC using summing op-amps and an R-2R resistor ladder in LTSpice, achieving 16 discrete voltage steps. Fabricated a 1" × 1" PCB in Autodesk Fusion 360 using SMD components and verified analog output with a binary counter and oscilloscope.
