I’m an Embedded Software Engineer passionate about pushing the boundaries of hardware–software interaction. With hands-on experience in MCU firmware, embedded C/C++, FPGA design (VHDL), and IoT systems, I enjoy architecting innovative solutions—from batteryless medical monitors to secure IoT devices.

Currently studying Electrical Engineering (Co-op) at the University of Waterloo, I’m most excited about GPU programming, FPGA architectures, and real-time embedded systems!
