About Me

I'm an Electrical Engineering student at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) with practical experience across circuit design, embedded systems, sensor integration, and control. I enjoy taking projects end-to-end: defining requirements, designing schematics and PCBs in KiCad, building mechanical parts in CAD (FreeCAD, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor), and validating systems with real measurements. I'm currently working on a smart mailbox capstone project that I’m aiming to turn into a business. The system is designed with real-world reliability in mind, including a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W microcontroller that can perform redundant, must-work actions alongside the main processor. I’m especially drawn to building small robots and automation projects that blend electronics, software, and 3D design. Longer-term, I’m also interested in renewable energy projects and electric transportation systems, from micro e-transit to full EV platforms.

Core Interests

  • Embedded systems, RTOS, driver development
  • PCB design, power, mixed-signal, bring-up
  • FPGA/RTL, verification, timing closure
  • Computer vision + robotics integration

Tools

C/C++ Python KiCad LTspice Git/GitHub STM32 ESP32 FPGA

Tip: each project gets a short pitch on the homepage, and a full writeup on its own page (overview, requirements, design, validation, results) - very similar to Mitchell's long-form style. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
