About

Art and creation have always been essential parts of my life, from engineering to painting and playing music (keyboard and guitar). These creative pursuits taught me patience and self-expression, qualities that resonate in my work with electronics and coding. A middle school robotics class first revealed the creative side of engineering, showing me the synergy between art, hardware, and software, a passion I have pursued throughout my academic and professional journey. My work with the IEEE Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Team reinforced my adaptability, problem-solving, and teamwork. Initially working on PCB design, I soon contributed to the complex electrical stack, mentored newer members, and taught concepts I had recently mastered. These leadership and technical experiences are qualities that have helped me through my career. My passion for painting and playing music has honed my ability approach problems from different perspectives, skills that have proven invaluable in my engineering work. With my technical foundation, adaptability, and creative approach to problem-solving, I aim to use my education to contribute to innovations in fields like IoT, robotics, and autonomous systems
