What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my engineering skills and fosters professional growth.

I am an aspiring electrical engineer currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, set to graduate in December 2024. My academic journey has been enriched by hands-on laboratory experiences, where I have honed my skills in both software and hardware engineering. I take pride in my ability to engineer innovative solutions, such as developing a functional prototype of a smart submersible marine vehicle that significantly enhanced maneuverability through advanced motor control algorithms.

During my internship at Northrop Grumman, I successfully launched a comprehensive onboarding tracker for interns, which streamlined data collection and reporting processes. This initiative not only improved operational efficiency but also resulted in complete user adoption within the division. My previous experience as a Critical Power Engineer Intern at M.C. Dean further solidified my technical expertise, where I created detailed electrical drawings and contributed to critical power bid submissions that increased our bid completion rate by 50%. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a challenging engineering role that fosters innovation and growth.
