Computer engineer with a physics background. My pet projects and interests in school always revolved around controlling hardware with software. Whether building hydroponic farms or self-driving cars, I was always happiest breadboarding a project together with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi pinned in. Exposure to FPGAs easily became the last nudge I needed to pursue a career at the meeting point of software and hardware. Big thanks to those at Q-Net Security and Bausch + Lomb Surgical for the opportunity to continue exploring this space, as well as my phenomenal professors along the way.
