about
I recently completed my B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), where I was honored with the CMU Senior Leadership Recognition Award. I am now continuing my studies at CMU to pursue my M.S. in ECE (expected 2027). My technical interests lie at the intersection of computer architecture, digital VLSI/silicon design, and reconfigurable computing, driven by a central goal: engineering systems that pair high performance with uncompromising reliability.To me, reliability extends beyond logic circuits and systems; it is also about the structures that support them. Whether translating a complex hardware architecture from RTL to silicon or leading a technical team, I focus on building resilient frameworks—both in the hardware I design and the collaborative environments I foster.
This site serves as a showcase of my publicly shareable work, professional milestones, and the experiences that shape my engineering journey.
