About

I’m an Electrical and Computer Engineering student with a strong foundation in electronics, signal processing, and optical imaging. I have experience as a teaching assistant for an introductory FPGA course, where I supported students in learning digital logic fundamentals. Previously, I contributed to a microscopy-based interferometry project aimed at developing a high-precision image stitching pipeline. My role focused on analyzing fringe patterns, designing alignment strategies, and exploring methods for large-scale inspection of optical components used in high-power laser systems. I’m passionate about aerospace technologies—particularly in sensors, power systems, and analog electronics—and I’m eager to apply my skills to projects that advance navigation, wireless communication, and imaging capabilities.
