Systems Engineering & Design · UIUC
I'm a Systems Engineering and Design student at UIUC. I work across mechanical prototypes, embedded control, and analysis software—with a focus on what happens when a design meets real hardware.
Three projects across embedded hardware, competitive robotics, and signal analysis—each with my specific role called out.
Embedded systems · Independent project
ESP32 gripper with tested servo actuation and breadboard sensing. BLE firmware and a browser controller are prepared for testing.
Autonomous robotics · Team 10002X
Odometry, C++ motion control, and mechanical iteration documented in engineering notebooks.
My role: main programmer, later captain; mentor.
See code and notebook evidenceSignal analysis · SE 498 team project
Analysis dashboard for exercise breath-audio recordings and device-session checks.
My role: dashboard, signal processing, data analysis, and device connections.

Preparing for research with Prof. Wenjie Zhou’s group; technical work and assignment have not started.
Manufacturing and prototyping intern
PLA fixture design, aluminum prototypes, CAD/CAM, Mastercam, and CNC setup troubleshooting.
Quality and failure analysis intern
M.2 PCIe SSD performance, compatibility, and thermal testing on PC and PS5.
UIUC SE Product Design Lab · Jan–May 2025
Fusion 360 model of a 1:24 4WD car: 40 components across 3 subassemblies, with tolerance checks, weight validation, and structural analysis.
UIUC ECE 198 · Aug–Dec 2024
Temperature-controlled prototype integrating thermistor sensing, comparator logic, and PWM circuitry, tested with oscilloscopes and multimeters.
