What I'm looking for

I seek roles building embedded and robotic systems with emphasis on real-time motor control, testbench development, collaboration with engineering teams, and opportunities to apply firmware, FPGA, and hardware design skills.

I am an electrical and computer engineering student with hands-on experience building embedded systems, motor control firmware, and robotics software. I have developed ROS 2 nodes, custom CAN protocols, FPGA motor-control peripherals, and PCBs while collaborating with industry engineers and leading large volunteer teams.

My work includes internships at research labs and industry partners, competitive project development like a direct-drive vinyl player, and full-stack web systems supporting large events. I focus on reliable real-time control, testbench validation, and practical tooling to accelerate development and deployment.
