A little context

Curious by nature.
Rigorous by practice.

I study electrical engineering at the University of Central Florida and work across the seams between software, hardware, people, and process.

My interests center on embedded systems, low-level programming, automation, aerospace, and emerging computing paradigms. Whether I'm modernizing a platform, leading a web team, or building an autonomous vehicle, I care about asking better questions and carrying the work all the way through.

Beyond engineeringFounded Programming the Future, delivering Python and Scratch workshops to 500+ students with 20+ volunteers. Previously served three years as a youth leader supporting children and families.
