About Me

I am a Purdue University graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, where I gained hands-on experience in embedded systems, robotics, and hardware-software integration. Currently, I am pursuing my M.Eng. in Computer Engineering at Northwestern University, continuing my passion for bridging the gap between hardware and software.

When I'm not coding or designing circuits, you can find me hanging out with friends, working on personal projects, or watching movies. I believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance and finding inspiration from both technical challenges and everyday experiences.
