About

I'm a Computer Engineering student at UMass Amherst (Class of 2028), minoring in Studio Art. Right now I'm a Product Development Intern at D'Addario / Cleerline, researching optical engine and retimer silicon for a Thunderbolt 5 fiber-optic cable line. Outside of coursework I'm usually prototyping something analog on a breadboard, or in the shop working with wood.
