about me

years
Palo Alto, CA -> Blacksburg, VA
Systems Engineer
Currently, I'm a software engineer at Graf Research. Before that, I was a systems engineer at Luna Innovations. Before that, I was a student at Purdue University studying Computer Engineering. My interests cover the intersection of hardware and software, particularly web design, computer networks, embedded systems, SoC/ASIC design and machine learning.

technical skills

Software Development
Software developer with experience in fast paced work environments. Team oriented with a solid understanding of OOP, algorithms and design principles.
Machine Learning
Intermediate understanding of complex machine learning techniques. Including: search, neural networks, bayesian networks, markov decision processes, Q-learning, TD-learning, constraint satisfaction, and supervised and unsupervised classification.
ASIC/SoC Design
Good understanding of Verilog and SystemVerilog. Designed and tested digital standard cell VLSI, and competent in testing as well.
Embedded Systems
Created many projects on ARM microcontroller, using embedded C and ARM libraries. Fluent in MicroPython and standard bus protocols.
Computer Networks
Good understanding of computer networks and associated protocols. Implemented an HTTP 1.1 server, a RIP router, a OSPF router, and a miniturized TCP filesharing program.
Server administration
In my free time I maintain a personal linux server. It serves a website made with flask and also ftp, sftp, and much more.
