I design digital hardware, from RTL to chip layout.
I'm a third-year electrical engineering and computer science student at Stanford, interested in computer architecture, AI accelerators, and embedded systems. I enjoy understanding a system at every level, and carrying a design from RTL all the way down to a physical chip layout.
I'm just as drawn to hardware that meets the physical world, like real-time firmware and sensing (one of my projects measures a heartbeat from a meter away with radar). Outside of engineering, I care about making STEM more engaging and accessible for students from low-income communities, something personal to me as a first-generation college student.
Lately I've built a systolic-array AI accelerator and a pipelined RISC-V processor. I've also taught as a CS course assistant at Stanford and done VR education research at Stanford and USC.

If you'd like to connect, collaborate, or talk about hardware, I'd love to hear from you.
