About

Master's student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC San Diego, specializing in FPGA and ASIC digital design, RTL development, and hardware acceleration. I bring 2+ years of hands-on experience in high-performance computing, having contributed to the National Supercomputing Mission through FPGA based NIC design. I’ve worked across the full hardware design stack, from RTL coding and floorplanning to timing closure and validation, and recently interned at Juniper Networks on HBM controller development. I enjoy working at the intersection of performance and precision, whether it's closing timing on a complex design or optimizing logic to meet tight constraints. I'm excited to take the next step into a full time role in ASIC or FPGA design, where I can keep solving real hardware challenges and contribute to impactful, production-grade systems.
