Who am I?

I am a 23-year-old electrical engineering student with a strong, hands-on focus on designing PCBs, creating parts in CAD, developing software for the physical projects I build, building software applications, and physically working with electrical hardware and integrated systems.

My academic and professional path has been shaped by both a deep technical curiosity and a personal commitment to contributing to technologies that can meaningfully improve human capability and long-term resilience.

I lost my mother suddenly during middle school, an experience that fundamentally changed how I view purpose, responsibility, and the future. Since then, I have navigated ongoing family health challenges—including my father’s repeated strokes and heart issues, my brother’s lifelong condition, and other relatives facing serious illness—while living several hundred miles away. These circumstances have required me to develop a high degree of self-reliance, emotional discipline, and the ability to operate effectively under sustained pressure. They have also reinforced my belief that meaningful progress often requires long-term commitment through difficult conditions.

These experiences led me to channel my energy into engineering and technology as a source of clarity and forward momentum. What began as hands-on automotive work evolved into a focused pursuit of electrical engineering after I recognized the transformative potential of large-scale technological systems. I have been deeply engaged with advancements in electric vehicles, autonomy, robotics, and sustainable energy infrastructure, viewing them as critical tools for addressing both practical challenges and broader civilizational risks. This perspective has driven my decision to pursue opportunities aligned with building the hardware and systems that support scalable, long-term human progress.

I bring a combination of rigorous technical training, hands-on project leadership, and a strong sense of personal agency. I am comfortable working independently, maintaining high standards, and taking ownership of complex problems. At the same time, I am actively working to balance intensity with sustainability—recognizing that consistent, long-term contribution requires managing both external responsibilities and internal demands.

Ultimately, I see my role as contributing to technologies that expand human possibility while remaining grounded in practical execution and disciplined effort. I am committed to building capability in myself and in the systems I work on, with the goal of helping create infrastructure that supports a more capable and resilient future.
