Computer Engineering | Embedded Systems | FPGA | Analog Design

Computer Engineering student graduating May 2026 with hands-on experience building autonomous and embedded systems, integrating perception, sensor fusion, and real-time control. My work spans both hardware and software, including deploying machine learning pipelines on NVIDIA Jetson platforms under real-time constraints.

I focus on system-level engineering, including architecture design, functional decomposition, and cross-domain integration, with an interest in advancing autonomous systems and embodied AI through real-world experimentation.

Experience

Undergraduate Research Assistant — Thermal Control System

Developed a Raspberry Pi–based closed-loop thermal control system for undergraduate research, designing monitoring and control logic for stable real-time operation under continuous load.

Raspberry Pi • Closed-Loop Control • PCB Instrumentation • Real-Time Monitoring

Teaching Assistant / Lab Assistant — Engineering Coursework

Served as a teaching and lab assistant across computer architecture, circuits, and mathematics, supporting 25+ students through instruction, office hours, and technical guidance. Reinforced system-level design, control logic, and analytical problem-solving while helping students bridge hardware and software concepts.

About

I am a Computer Engineering student with a focus on embedded systems, digital hardware, and analog circuit design. I enjoy building complete systems that integrate hardware and software, from low-level circuit design to real-time control and system architecture.

My interests lie in autonomous systems, embedded intelligence, and hardware-driven computing. I am particularly interested in designing systems that operate under real-world constraints, where performance, reliability, and integration matter as much as functionality.

I am currently seeking opportunities to contribute to engineering teams working on embedded systems, robotics, or intelligent hardware platforms.
