01ABOUT ME
Understanding the problem. Testing the possibilities.
I am an Electrical and Computer Engineering student at Northeastern University interested in hardware engineering, research and development, and experimental design.
Through coursework and personal projects, I am developing experience in circuit analysis, electrical measurements, simulation, programming, and computer-aided design.
I am especially interested in project-driven environments where I can investigate technical questions, troubleshoot problems, work with a team, and learn through testing and iteration.

03ENGINEERING APPROACH
Questions lead to better designs.
My goal is to approach engineering problems methodically: understand the requirements, evaluate possible solutions, investigate the results, and use what I learn to guide the next step.
01
Investigate
Define the problem, research existing solutions, and identify design requirements.
02
Design
Compare possible approaches, evaluate constraints, and develop a testable solution.
03
Measure
Use calculations, simulations, and repeatable experiments to gather evidence.
04
Improve
Compare results with expectations, investigate discrepancies, and determine the next step.
CURRENT INVESTIGATION
Designing a custom wireless gaming mouse
I am researching components and system architecture before building a prototype. The next steps are to establish measurable requirements, compare candidate components, and develop a test plan for performance, power consumption, and reliability.
