04 / About
Engineering is most interesting when it leaves the screen.
I’m pursuing a B.S. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering at Texas State University, where I work in research, robotics, and the Ingram Hall Makerspace.
My work tends to converge on the same problem: getting real physical systems to produce useful data, make decisions, and behave reliably. That has taken me from embedded firmware and PCB design to ROS 2 robots, industrial arms, IoT networks, and printer-farm infrastructure.
I’m especially interested in robotics, sensing, distributed embedded systems, edge computing, and the infrastructure that makes fleets of machines easier to operate.
