Get to know me better
I earned my B.S. in Electrical Engineering from UC Santa Barbara, with hands‑on experience in RF, integrated circuit design, power electronics, and machine learning, currently at L3Harris as Hardware/RF Engineer.
I served as the Electrical Engineering Lead for a Raytheon-sponsored autonomous vehicle program, building a UAV-UGV system for autonomous navigation and target identification. I led electrical for a 10-person team, set technical standards, and presented weekly progress. On the hardware side, I architected the vehicle power system (LiPo to DC-DC conversion, power distribution), designed vehicle system around the requirements, and integrated machine learning using the BrainChip Akida neuromorphic processor for low-power object detection.
Across projects, I try to be the person who turns “it should work” into “it’s tested, repeatable, and ready.” Previously, I worked on inverse design of diffractive optical elements and metasurfaces, where I optimized MATLAB models grounded in electromagnetic theory and presented results to 50+ researchers. My work also includes series-parallel switched-capacitor DC-DC converters, achieving up to 92% efficiency in power conversion.

Recent work and research projects
Led electrical engineering for a 10-person team building autonomous ground and air vehicles for obstacle navigation — the team won first place in the West Coast competition. Architected power solutions (LiPo to DC-DC, buck converter); integrated a neuromorphic processor for low-power object detection (80% accuracy). Presented weekly updates to sponsors and advised on technical standards.
Designed PCB and tested a series-parallel switched-capacitor DC-DC converter with multiple voltage conversion ratios (1:2, 1:3, 2:3, 3:5, 4:5) at 10 kHz–1 MHz. Optimized topology and switching in MATLAB, achieving 92% peak efficiency.
Co-led the hands-on fabrication of a fully functional silicon chip using a four-mask NMOS process, integrating photolithography, thermal oxidation, and metal deposition to build and characterize working MOSFETs, diodes, and capacitors with precise electrical measurements.
Designed and fabricated an NMOS-based half-adder circuit on a silicon chip using a four-mask process, integrating transistor-level logic gates through precise photolithography, oxidation, and metallization. A hands-on experience of fully custom IC design and analysis.
Under Professor Hsu's research lab, focused on using modern technologies to control interactions between light and matter in complex systems. Assisted in developing computational imaging methods that can reconstruct 3D images inside an opaque scattering medium.
Utilized Arduino IDE and created a C++ program that can play notes and tune songs with interactive buttons and tuners. This connects with Ableton Live music software to allow for customization to the DJ's liking. The device is infinitely expandable with additional interactive tools.
