Embedded Software Engineer

With a concentration on embedded systems, I received a Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan through the SUGS program. I graduated from U of M magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Computer Engineering and minors in both Physics and Mathematics. I am currently working as an embedded software engineer at Sonatus Inc. in Sunnyvale, CA to build our connected vehicle infrastructure. I am a high-energy, infinitely positive individual who thrives in projects requiring a diverse skillset and creative thinking. I love what I do and wish there were more hours in each day so that I could build all the (crazy) ideas me and my friends come up with - to see a few, go to the projects page.

I am grateful to the University of Michigan for giving me the opportunity to thrive and grow as a student, and to Sonatus for introducing me to some of the field's brightest minds and most exciting technology.

For over two years, I researched quantum optics and quantum information science while working under various professors at the University of Michigan. In the summer of 2020, during COVID-19's quarantine period, I became the steward of a friend's 1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and my experience with that car changed the direction of my career. I had to learn to fix and care for the car and in doing so, I found a lot of satisfaction from then using and relying on it. Hence my interest in embedded systems was born from this new bridge I found that connected my intellectual curiosities and skill set to the physical world.

From there, I took classes in robotics, got accepted to the SUGS program at U of M for embedded systems, built autonomous robots, and had an internship with White Fox Scooters building a new IoT device for docking stations. By Fall 2021, I was working on satellite imaging technology at EMAG Technologies in Ann Arbor, and building digital guitar pedals for fun. In January 2022, me and three friends from my time at Michigan started converting a 1981 Honda CB750 into an electric motorcycle - with cloud connectivity. I couldn't be happier with my career change because it gave me to tools do to what I love: build some really cool stuff.
