Oregon State University
Still in flight — graduating March 2027. Leveling up systems & industrial engineering: optimization, manufacturing, and operations.
Systems EE at Apple, ex-Tesla (Low Voltage Controllers). I design production electronics, ship side-project software, and spend my weekends at hackathons, makeathons, and hardware meetups. Currently finishing an M.Eng in Industrial Engineering at Oregon State.

AI tool that generates TN-visa support letters under USMCA.
End-to-end SaaS that drafts a compliant TN support letter from an applicant's details — Stripe payments, MongoDB, and OpenAI. It generated real revenue, but I wound it down once customer-acquisition cost climbed higher than the unit economics could support.

VCFRONT Gen 3 — the brains of the Model Y front end.
Front-controller redesign for the Model Y 2024 refresh (VCFRONT Gen 3). Moved from discrete analog eFuses to integrated digital VNF1048F smart-fuse ICs; replaced state-machine trapezoidal BLDC drivers for the pumps and radiator fans with microcontroller-based pre-drivers; plus numerous cost and GSM improvements.

EE fundamentals at Memorial — now sharpening the systems & industrial-engineering side at Oregon State.
Still in flight — graduating March 2027. Leveling up systems & industrial engineering: optimization, manufacturing, and operations.
A co-op degree — 7 internships across North America, from electric utilities to wireless power, networking, and automotive. Where the EE foundation got built: power electronics, embedded, RF, and a lot of hands-on PCB work.

1st place — Tesla's 2026 Low Voltage Org hackathon ("Supreme Debuggery").

5-day in-person power electronics seminar (magnetics, DC/DC, control).
Top IEEE capstone award — autonomous underwater vehicle.
Electrical lead — top 2.6% worldwide, 3rd in North America.

First place (+ Best Use of DJI & IBM Watson) — my first hackathon win.
