I build embedded systems and digital solutions that bring ideas from schematic to shipped product — from ARM Cortex-M firmware to KiCad PCB layouts.
Technologies & Tools
Designed and implemented a full game loop on the MSPM0 LaunchPad with custom graphics and audio drivers. Real-time interrupt-driven rendering at 30 fps with sound effects via DAC output.
Created a traffic management system using finite state machines and simulated sensors to optimize traffic flow and pedestrian safety. Implemented on FPGA with Verilog HDL.
Freelance build for a local specialty café — a responsive brand site plus a full ordering flow: menu, a build-your-own-drink customizer, cart, and checkout. Hand-coded from scratch with a custom design system, no framework.
A proof-of-work blockchain built in Python with Merkle trees, REST API, tamper detection, and distributed consensus across nodes.
A complete CHIP-8 emulator implementing all 35 opcodes, 64×32 display, two timers, hex keypad, and a disassembler.
A malloc/free/realloc replacement in C with explicit free lists, boundary tags, immediate coalescing, and a heap checker.
A Git subset built from scratch — blob/tree/commit objects, SHA-1 content addressing, index, log, and checkout.
A fully functional Unix shell built from scratch — pipes, I/O redirection, glob expansion, history, and 10 built-ins.
An HTTP/1.1 web server built from raw TCP sockets — multi-threaded, request parsing, router, and static file serving.
An NFA-based regex engine using Thompson's construction — match, search, findall, sub, and compile.
A full-text search engine with inverted index, BM25/TF-IDF scoring, Porter stemmer, and boolean/phrase/wildcard queries.
A fully-connected MLP built using only NumPy — backpropagation, Adam optimizer, dropout, and L2 regularization.
A Jinja2-inspired template engine with a lexer, recursive descent parser, template inheritance, filters, and auto-escaping.
A React-inspired Virtual DOM — h(), diff(), patch(), typed patch records, and a stateful Component class.
A feature-rich task manager CLI with a custom arg parser, ANSI table renderer, 9 subcommands, and JSON persistence.
A social media concept that prevents prerecorded media uploads to combat AI-generated and fake content in real-time feeds.
A TypeScript web application serving the Laredo community — built to connect local resources and services.
Writing firmware for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers using embedded C. Designing interrupt-driven I/O, real-time scheduling, and peripheral drivers from the register level.
Implementing finite state machines and combinational logic in Verilog HDL. Targeting FPGAs for synthesis and simulation, from truth tables through timing closure.
Designing two- and four-layer boards in KiCad — from schematic capture through DRC-clean layout. Emphasis on power delivery, decoupling, and signal integrity.
Analyzing and filtering signals using MATLAB and Python. Applied DSP concepts including FFTs, FIR/IIR filters, and frequency-domain analysis to real sensor data.
Building modern portfolios and tooling with React and Next.js. TypeScript-first, performance-aware, and comfortable with full design-system workflows.
I'm an electrical and computer engineering student at UT Austin, raised in Laredo, TX. From early robotics clubs to rigorous ECE coursework, I found my purpose in solving complex problems with thoughtful hardware and software design.
My work spans the full stack of embedded development — from ARM assembly and real-time OS design to PCB layout in KiCad and FPGA prototyping in Verilog. I'm energized by problems that live at the intersection of hardware and software.
Beyond the lab, I mentor the next generation of STEM students and stay connected to the engineering community through IEEE. I believe teamwork — on the field or in an engineering sprint — is rooted in communication and mutual respect.
