Electrical engineer interested in audio electronics and integrated circuits.
B.S. Electrical Engineering, University of Pittsburgh — Class of 2028
I'm a junior electrical engineering student at the Univeristy of Pittsburgh who loves designing and building things from the ground up. At Pitt, I've designed, prototyped, and built 2 guitar pedals, worked on embedded systems and PCB design, and learned digital design fundementals with Siemens HDL Designer and Quartus Prime on an DE-10 Lite FPGA. I'm drawn to integrated circuits and audio electronics, and I'm always looking for a new challenge to take on.
