About

From logic gates to lightwaves.

I'm a Computer Engineering graduate from Florida Polytechnic University with a strong focus on hardware systems. In my undergrad, I built a strong foundation in embedded programming, RTL design, and PCB layout.

Now, as an M.S. student in Electrical Engineering, I'm researching novel solutions in Silicon Photonics for hardware primitives in the subwavelength domain.

I'm always looking forward to expanding my skillset whenever I can within the design and manufacturing of integrated circuits and embedded programming.
