About
All-Rounder Builder with a Systems Lens
I am a Computer Engineering student at UCSB working at the intersection of digital systems, embedded devices, and software implementation. My approach is end-to-end: define the architecture, build the components, test under constraints, and ship with measurable outcomes.
I work across hardware design, embedded systems, and software implementation. I enjoy projects where architecture decisions matter and where the system needs to operate reliably under real constraints.
My background combines processor and memory design, low-level implementation, real-time application development, and research workflows in deep learning and analytics.
The common thread in my work is systems thinking: understand every layer, then design a clean path from concept to measurable outcome.
Featured Work
Projects Across Hardware, Software, Research, and Equity
From RTL and SRAM design to low-latency web pipelines and market analysis, these builds represent how I move between abstraction layers without losing execution speed.
