Electrical and Computer Engineering at UT Austin • Computer Architecture and Embedded Systems

I'm an Electrical and Computer Engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin with a strong focus on embedded systems and circuit design. I specialize in low-level firmware development and custom PCB design, bringing hardware to life through bare metal C and ARM assembly. I also have experience developing and porting custom Real Time Operating Systems. I am passionate about bridging the gap between hardware and software to solve complex, multidisciplinary challenges.
