01
Senior honors student at Santa Clara University, graduating 2027 with a double major in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. 3.8 GPA. I learn by building the full stack — schematic, PCB, firmware, mechanical, control — and shipping the result to a hard deadline.

Across the past two years, I've worked on a 420 V FSAE traction pack with a custom slave-board BMS (144 thermistors), validated motor-drive ICs at STMicroelectronics, and built PalmSync — an embedded heart-rate device that lifted accuracy from 76% to 93% and won the SCU CrossFit Maker Challenge. Each project sharpened a different layer of the same vertical: cells, power electronics, sensing, firmware, control.

Raven is where it all converges. An eVTOL roadmap I'm running solo — Stage 1 builds the airframe and tilt-rotor mechanism, the mid stages layer in IMU and lidar autonomy, the final stages prove out a 4-drone autonomous swarm. The thesis is simple: the hardware engineering needed for safe autonomous flight is the hardware engineering I've been doing on cars, and I'm here to do it on aircraft.
