Engineering through building.

I'm an Electrical Engineering student at Texas A&M University with a strong interest in electronics, embedded systems, electromagnetics, and practical engineering.

A lot of my experience comes from projects where I have had to design, troubleshoot, fabricate, and integrate systems rather than simply study them in a classroom.

My projects range from restoring and modernizing a 1975 Jeep Cherokee to developing embedded computer systems and exploring the fundamentals of magnetic memory through Aggies Create.

Let's build something interesting.

I'm always interested in engineering projects, electronics, embedded systems, and opportunities to learn something new.
