I build hardware that thinks — at the intersection of signal and silicon. Embedded systems, RF circuits and intelligent sensing, from schematic to fabricated board.
Every project is one continuous signal path — from a noisy sensor to a clean decision.
I'm an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Alberta, working where embedded hardware meets data science. My research pairs custom sensing hardware with machine-learning estimators to pull meaning out of messy, real-world signals.
Currently a DRA-funded Research Assistant with a manuscript under review at the IEEE Sensor Journal — and just as comfortable laying out an RF board in Altium as I am training a LightGBM model in Python.

A few signals worth following — each a full journey from schematic to silicon. Hover any visual to read its live trace.
Low-Cost AirQuality Device
Arduino ozone monitoring with a novel Adaptive Kalman–LightGBM (AKL/GBM) estimator. Manuscript under review at IEEE Sensor Journal.
S-band MOS Amplifierat 2.4 GHz
Single-stage 2.4 GHz MOSFET RF amplifier for Wi-Fi / BLE front-ends. Full EM and transistor-level simulation in ADS, fabricated and VNA-verified.
Differential FeedbackDC-DC Converter
A novel differential switching-mode converter using two parallel SMPSs with inverted control to suppress ripple and improve stability.
