Background
About Me
I'm a Firmware Engineer with 3+ years at Raytheon Vision Systems, where I work on FPGA and SoC-based embedded platforms — system bring-up, hardware-software integration, test automation, and root-cause analysis on complex multi-stream systems.
Outside of the day job, I build software tools, web apps, and the occasional game. I'm drawn to problems where hardware meets software and the answer requires understanding both.
B.S. Computer Engineering from UC Irvine (GPA 3.6). Electrical Lead on the UCI Solar Car Project.
