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 University of Pittsburgh who'd rather build something than buy it. I've designed a guitar fuzz pedal around an LM386 analog signal path, hand-built a guitar, restored vintage amplifiers, and worked through digital design fundamentals with a VHDL calculator on an FPGA. I'm drawn to integrated circuits and communications signals, and I'm always looking for the next interesting problem to dig into.

Open to Summer 2027 internships — especially analog/mixed-signal IC design, audio electronics, and instrumentation, but also embedded systems and PCB design
