B.S. Student Computer Engineering
California State University, Sacramento

I graduated from California State University, Sacramento with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, where I developed a strong foundation in digital systems, embedded design, and computer architecture. My academic focus and personal curiosity have led me toward hardware engineering, with a particular interest in efficient and scalable system design.

My experience includes working with technologies like C, Python, Verilog, Xilinx Vivado, and Cadence Virtuoso. Tools I've used to design, simulate, and layout digital circuits. I'm also drawn to silicon design and verification, and I enjoy the hands-on process of translating logic into physical layouts and functional hardware.

Looking ahead, I aim to contribute to the field of hardware and silicon design & verification. I'm passionate about how computers work at the fundamental level, and I also have a love for audio—both in how it's produced and how it's processed—which continues to inspire my engineering journey.

Outside of tech stuff, I enjoy exploring new ideas, traveling, pretending I am a chef in the kitchen, and of course playing electric guitar.
