Hardware integration and test-focused engineer with a B.S. in Electromechanical Engineering Technology from Cal Poly Pomona. I build, diagnose, and validate real electromechanical systems across robotics hardware, automotive electrical systems, applied simulation, wiring, sensors, actuators, and prototype testing.
Hands-on hardware, simulation, and integration work. Click any project for the full breakdown.
Inherited from my grandfather at ~96k miles and turned into a long-term systems lab. Every major system diagnosed, repaired, or rebuilt, and logged through ~142k miles.
Built across coursework, project work, and personal builds.
I inherited my grandfather's 1995 Mercedes E320 at 15, before I had formal engineering training. When a dealership charged $400 and made the electrical problem worse, I sat down with wiring diagrams, picked up a DMM, and found the fault myself. Trace the system. Verify the result. Do not guess. That has been the approach ever since.
The E320 became a long-term project across mechanical repair, wiring diagnosis, 12V power, audio integration, and factory-system troubleshooting. Related work on a C32 AMG included D2B fiber-optic troubleshooting, CarPlay integration, gear selector repair, and audio/electrical integration. Those projects taught me how to stay methodical when real systems do not behave like textbook examples.
At Cal Poly Pomona, I applied the same mindset to formal engineering work: an offline AI camera payload integrated onto BillyBOT, a solo ANSYS Fluent CFD study on my own car geometry, a 35:1 AGMA-based gearbox validated with a 3D-printed prototype, and an ANSYS heat-sink model checked against hand calculations.
I graduated in May 2026 with a B.S. in Electromechanical Engineering Technology from Cal Poly Pomona. U.S. citizen and clearance eligible. Based in Southern California, open across California. Targeting hands-on roles in test engineering, integration engineering, validation, manufacturing test, robotics hardware, automotive electronics, and aerospace/defense hardware.
I'm always glad to talk hardware, engineering, or any of the projects on this page.
Small software, automation, and tooling builds. Secondary to the hardware portfolio, but included to show initiative and follow-through.
Built and shipped a job-tracking tool with authentication, database logic, Gmail/Chrome-extension workflows, and user-facing UI. Secondary to the hardware portfolio, but shows I can take an idea from concept to shipped product.
Local AI infrastructure experiment using a Mac mini, Ollama, Slack routing, sandboxed execution, and loopback-only gateway behavior.
Resale analysis concept built around eBay listing data. Prototype to test whether listing screening could be turned into a usable tool.
Lightweight browser game built to experiment with game logic, UI polish, score tracking, and unlockable skins.
Idea generation app using filters, card-style suggestions, and randomized shuffling to surface activities quickly.
ETM 3301 coursework: Arduino sensor and actuator labs covering basic embedded patterns and circuit prototyping.
