About Me

I am a Computer Engineering student at the University of Florida (Class of 2028) with a 3.91 GPA[cite: 5, 7, 8]. I have a passion for bridging the gap between hardware and software, with hands-on experience in CPU architecture, RF analysis, and analog circuit prototyping.


Currently, I am researching EV electrical systems with Gator Motorsports [cite: 41] and exploring audio electronics with the Audio Engineering Society[cite: 38].

Technical Projects

4-bit Pipelined CPU

Logisim, Intel DE-10 Lite FPGA, Python, Assembly

Engineered a 4-bit CPU with a 5-stage pipeline, achieving a 3.5x speedup over non-pipelined designs[cite: 12]. Developed a custom 16-instruction ISA and a Python assembler to streamline execution[cite: 13, 14].

Smart Home Sensor Network

ESP32, C++, RF Analysis, RTL-SDR

Deployed a 2.4GHz wireless sensor network using ESP32s[cite: 19]. Analyzed RF spectrum interference and traced packet loss to environmental obstructions using an RTL-SDR down-converter[cite: 20, 22].

Analog Fuzz Pedal Prototype

Analog Circuits, Breadboarding, Component Analysis

Designed a single-transistor guitar fuzz pedal. Successfully substituted a PN2222 transistor for a 2N5088 by re-biasing resistor values to compensate for gain differences, restoring desired tonal characteristics[cite: 25, 26, 27].
