About

I’m a Computer Engineering graduate from Michigan State University with a focus on embedded systems, firmware, and AI integration for real-time applications. My work spans wearable sensing devices, microcontroller-based platforms, and real-time ML pipelines. I love translating research concepts into working hardware and software systems.

Experience

Hardware Engineer · BluLateral

Jul 2025 – Present · East Lansing, MI
  • Designed and iterated PCB prototypes integrating electrodes, optical sensors, and MCUs for reliable bio‑signal acquisition.
  • Programmed embedded‑C firmware with BLE, enabling synchronized bilateral stimulation and low‑latency data transfer.
  • Led end‑to‑end validation: sensor calibration, power profiling, and troubleshooting for early human trials and manufacturability.

Undergraduate Research Assistant · Michigan State University

Apr 2024 – Jun 2025 · East Lansing, MI
  • Integrated embedded systems for Lunchbox (NIH‑funded $2.78M microscale chemical analysis device): PCB/Arduino bring‑up, calibration, and system validation.
  • Built quaternion‑based head‑pose tracking; validated vs motion capture with <10° angular error.
  • Developed Python/TensorFlow IMU pipelines; automated Linux data collection, achieving 86%+ real‑time accuracy.

Cloud / Development Intern · Sybyl Limited

Jun 2023 – Aug 2023 · Nairobi, Kenya
  • Deployed Odoo ERP for 300+ users with PostgreSQL/Python/JS; reduced licensing costs by $50K+.
  • Coordinated cross‑regional teams; weekly GitHub releases, Ubuntu server optimization, and automation mentoring.
