I'm an ece grad from UW-Madison, currently teaching CS and calculus while building things that probably shouldn't work together. My work spans the full spectrum: from optimizing FPGA timing constraints and designing SPI controllers at the hardware level, to shipping full-stack web applications with OAuth flows and payment processing. I've built everything from autonomous maze-solving robots to a campus-wide digital ID system actually deployed at my university, because I get restless when projects stay theoretical.

What excites me most is the intersection of hardware and software. There's something uniquely satisfying about understanding systems at the silicon level, then using that knowledge to build products that people actually use. I'm most fulfilled when I'm solving problems that demand both precision engineering and thoughtful design. With experience spanning SystemVerilog to React, I gravitate toward projects that bridge different domains.

In my free time, I'm usually prototyping something new or exploring how technology can make tedious processes genuinely simple.
