What I'm looking for

I seek engineering or consulting roles focused on project execution, systems engineering, and hands-on technical work with collaborative teams and growth opportunities.

I am an Electrical and Electronics Engineering graduate with strong experience in project coordination, technical documentation, and hands-on engineering work across power operations, lab automation, and community outreach. I have led teams, managed sponsors and volunteers, and completed internships that strengthened my skills in equipment monitoring, microcontroller programming, and system testing.

My academic record includes a 4.78/5.0 GPA with multiple scholarships and awards, and a dissertation on bipedal robot trajectory optimization using nonlinear model predictive control. I seek to grow in consulting and engineering roles where I can apply analytical problem-solving, improve processes, and contribute positively to technical projects and stakeholder outcomes.
