About

I’m a graduate student at Virginia Tech with 2 years of industry experience at Visteon, where I developed and optimized embedded software for safety-critical automotive systems. My work involved board bring-up, static analysis (MISRA, Coverity), and in-depth debugging using CAN trace logs, resulting in a 25% drop in system integration testing failures. Passionate about real-time systems, I’ve implemented FreeRTOS scheduling on microcontrollers and formally verified vehicle platooning safety using KeYmaera X. I enjoy solving low-level problems at the intersection of hardware and software, and I’m actively seeking opportunities to build reliable, high-performance embedded systems.
