Systems Engineering / Minor in Computer Science @ UIUC Grainger (Dec 2025)
Studying systems engineering with a concentration in embedded computing. Interested in embedded/electrical systems, firmware programming, data analytics. Recently completed my second firmware engineering internship at Milwaukee Electric Tool and returning for a third in 2025. Long-running independent technical projects include:
- a remote-controlled snow plow (self-study in mechanical, computer, electrical, and power engineering). currently working on designing battery charging, motor control, and peripherals into one PCBA
- an experiment in tiling world generation and simulation, OpenGL graphics programming
- a stock market autotrader (basic evolutionary machine learning, GPGPU programming, software development)
Between hobby projects, internships, and coursework, I have experience in a variety of engineering and computing disciplines and have working knowledge with relevant technologies in both design and analysis/support capacities. This table isn't comprehensive, nor am I an expert in all of these, but here are some things of note I've worked with or had considerable exposure to:
| Skill Sets | Tools / Technologies | Programming Languages |
|---|---|---|
| Embedded Firmware Programming |
|
C/C++ |
| Electrical & Computer Engineering |

See the blog page for some technical write-ups. Outside of my pursuits in STEM, I enjoy running, hiking, rock climbing, playing guitar, cooking, and baking. I'm also bionic.
