I'm an embedded software engineer at Lucid Motors, working on the next generation of electric cars.
At Yale, I studied Electrical Engineering & Computer Science.

- At Dexter, I optimized search for an experts platform fostering innovation and collaboration in the precision medicine industry.
- At the Aerospace Corporation, I programmed bare-metal firmware for attitude control and radar sensing for satellites deploying into space.
- In the Yale Intelligent Computing Lab, I used neuromorphic computing methods, specifically brain-inspired spiking neural networks, to optimize the energy efficiency and robustness of semantic segmentation for edge devices.
- I redesigned and built CourseTable v2.1, where pretty much every Yale undergrad plans their courses.

- used Rust for kernel development and computer vision
[CPSC 429] - programmed mission-critical software for the Bouchet Low Earth Alpha-Beta Space Telescope
[Yale CubeSat] - built a superscalar, pipelined processor with scoreboarding, bypassing, stalling, and out-of-order execution
[CPSC 420] - built a simple operating system: physical/virtual memory management, process/thread management, trap/interrupt handling, scheduling & concurrency, and a file system
[CPSC 422] - built and programmed a computer with the classic 6502 microprocessor on a breadboard(!)
[Yale IEEE] - implemented malloc(), fork(), a Bash-like shell, a simple C compiler, a TeX-like macro processor
[CPSC 323] - built a digital synthesizer

I also like to talk about God, take photographs, go hiking, cook a mean avocado toast, dis/reassemble an iPhone, make amateur beats, rant about Dune, look at furniture, be a film snob, and two-step.
