Open to Summer 2027 internships and full-time roles for 2027

Hardware engineer for things that move themselves.

Senior honors double major in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at Santa Clara University. I build the hardware spine of machines that move on their own: high-voltage battery systems, motor control, embedded firmware, and autonomous aircraft.

About

One stack, two domains: electric vehicles and autonomous aircraft.

I'm a senior honors student at Santa Clara University, graduating in 2027 with a double major in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and a 3.7 GPA. I learn by building the full stack, schematic to PCB to firmware to mechanical to control, and shipping the result to a hard deadline.
