About me

I’m an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Michigan passionate about embedded systems, intelligent hardware, and high-performance engineering. I enjoy designing systems that combine electronics, software, and mechanical design to solve practical, real-world problems.

My projects range from autonomous UAVs and embedded Linux devices to custom thermal systems, secure networking platforms, and AI-integrated hardware. I enjoy taking ideas from concept to prototype while balancing performance, reliability, and system-level design.

My long-term interests lie in semiconductors, embedded systems, autonomous systems, and human-centered technologies. I’m particularly interested in developing high-performance, mission-critical systems that improve the way people interact with and benefit from technology.
