About

I am an electrical engineering major with a minor in computing, and I like to solve problems! In particular, I have an interest in technology that has a positive impact on people's everyday lives, such as improving cities.

I originally started out as a civil engineering major and have past experience interning at Clark Construction, so I have a good foundational knowledge on how projects are built, from design to design to finish. In addition to my electrical engineering coursework, I am a head teaching assistant for intro to object-oriented programming, which teaches students OOP primarily in Java.


Goals and Timeline

  • During my time at Georgia Tech, my concentrations in electrical engineering are circuit technology and telecommunications, which would give me the foundations needed to work on a project involving wireless communication from start to finish.
  • In my senior year of my undergraduate education, I aim to obtain a research position.
  • After graduating with my bachelors degree, I plan on pursuing a masters in electrical engineering.
  • For my 10-year goal, I want to be involved in designed and developing consumer electronics, such as smart home products and computer peripherals.

Projects

GUNDAM PROJECT

➤ Link to video demo.

This project was a part of ECE1100's discovery project from Spring 2022. It is primarily broken down into three stages: 3d modeling, programming both the Arduino and the Android app, and assembling everything together on the breadboard. For the overall project, I primarily contributed to the software portion.

3d modeling, arduino, app development

I collaborated with a classmate, Brandon Young, to brainstorm and make our ideas come to life. Our initial steps were to sketch and model the head, body, and arms in AutoCAD. We measured the servo dimensions, and included channels in the design where the wires would be routed through.

After the parts were ready, I developed the app using MIT app inventor. For a closer look into the circuitry, the schematic can be viewed here.

Due to time constraints, we were not able to fully flesh out our ideas. However, at this current state, we have laid out the software foundations for all of the features (glowing eyes, moving arms, etc.). For the next iteration, additional parts will be added to the model.

For Fun

Outside of academics, I enjoy most of my time reading and discovering the best ways to organize my life. I am interested in the world of open source software and digital privacy. Additionally, I have the most fun attending hackathon events both in person and online.

I am an aspiring polyglot! My current personal project is learning and obtaining fluency in Mandarin Chinese, for which I have been documenting my progress for in my digital garden. I am working on publishing it in the near future :)
