Building things
that actually work.

I build embedded systems, PCBs, and digital hardware — combining circuit design and firmware to turn ideas into working prototypes.

About

I'm an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Arkansas with hands-on experience in embedded systems, digital design, PCB development, and electrical troubleshooting.

I enjoy the part of engineering where hardware and software meet: writing firmware, bringing up boards, tracing signals, testing circuits, and figuring out why something that should work does not — yet.

Featured Projects

Mazda Miata pop-up headlight system during controller testing
01 Embedded Hardware

STM32 Automotive Headlight Controller

Designed and built an STM32-based PCB controller for a Mazda Miata's 12 V pop-up headlight system.

  • Developed relay-control, power-regulation, and protection circuitry with embedded firmware for independent headlight operation.
  • Tested and debugged hardware and firmware using a multimeter and oscilloscope.

02 Digital Design

8-Bit GCD Digital System

Designed and implemented an 8-bit GCD calculator in VHDL using Euclid's subtraction algorithm.

  • Built the datapath and Moore finite-state machine using registers, multiplexers, a comparator, conditional inversion, and a ripple-carry adder.
  • Verified the design with simulation testbenches and Boolean Board hardware testing.
