Systems-focused electrical engineer specializing in embedded Linux, microcontroller development, and end-to-end product deployment. At Xonar Technology I've written firmware for microcontroller subsystems, designed serial communication upgrades, and led IEC/UL and FCC/CE certification from start to finish. My path wasn't linear — a decade in education and technology training sharpened my ability to communicate complex systems clearly and deliver at scale. I returned to university to formalize what I'd been doing as a hobbyist for decades, graduating from FIU's College of ECE in 2023. C/C++, Python, UART/SPI/I²C, Docker, FPGA, Linux. I work best where hardware meets software and someone needs to own the full stack.
Worked with some exceptional students in grades 6 and up. Subjects ranging from pre-algebra to AP Calculus.
• Directed hardware design and system integration for embedded platforms, including GPU-based processing, microcontroller subsystems, LED assemblies, and serial communication upgrades for peripheral boards. • Designed and deployed Linux-based infrastructure supporting data center configuration, multi-camera systems, kiosk environments, and training/display installations. • Led hardware and software troubleshooting, repair, and continuous improvement efforts for deployed systems across multiple customer sites, improving reliability and field performance. • Managed regulatory compliance and certification efforts for IEC/UL/EN-61010 and FCC/CE, coordinating with external test labs (Nemko) and ensuring documentation and labeling met international standards. • Oversaw factory inspections, production readiness, and internal inventory management processes to maintain quality control and traceability. • Supported pre- and post-sales engineering activities by scoping customer requirements, configuring hardware and software solutions, and resolving technical field issues. • Delivered technical demonstrations and presentations of cabinet X-ray and radar-based systems, translating complex engineering concepts into clear customer-facing value. • Created training materials, technical videos, and user documentation to support product launches, deployment, and onboarding.
