About Me

I'm a third-year Computer Engineering student at Tufts University with a focus on embedded systems and robotics. My work centers on projects that connect hardware and software, including writing and debugging C/C++ for microcontrollers and VHDL for FPGAs. From robotic vision systems to high-voltage safety circuits, I enjoy developing complete solutions that integrate code with physical electronics.
