About

Hi! I’m a recent graduate in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Computer Engineering at the University of Calgary, with hands-on experience in SoC physical design, FPGA development, and embedded systems. During my internship at AMD, I gained proficiency in clock tree synthesis, static timing analysis, scripting, and building practical skills that I’m excited to carry forward into my career. I'm also interested in learning more about applying electrical principles to topics such as biomedical wearables and devices, as well as how they can improve the well-being of others. Outside of school, I enjoy photography, spending time with loved ones, and looking at planes.
