About Me

Hello, I am a recently graduated Biomedical Engineer from The University of Texas at Austin.

I am interested in pursuing a career as an embedded software engineer. I have a passion for learning new technologies and applying them for personal projects in my personal life. Previously I have created embedded devices for medical applications as well as for DIY home projects.

In addition, I have experience streamlining the order fulfillment process for a family-owned local business by developing software to automate order processing and fulfillment.
