ABOUT THIS SITE
How I Think, Build, and Learn
Welcome — this site is a window into how I think, build, and learn.
I am an engineer who enjoys turning complex physical problems into models that can be tested, challenged, and improved. This website brings together my engineering projects, research experience, and ongoing learning across multiple disciplines.
MY ENGINEERING JOURNEY
Different Fields, One Continuous Journey
My journey began in electrical and electronic engineering and has taken me across wearable thermoelectric generators, electro-optic beam steering systems, and virtual validation of electric-vehicle battery systems.
Along the way, I have worked with materials fabrication and characterization, cleanroom processing, optoelectronic test systems, thermal-fluid and electromagnetic simulation, and data-driven modeling.
I do not see these transitions as unrelated detours. They have taught me how to connect different areas of physics and approach engineering problems from more than one perspective.

Learning Beyond the Boundaries of a Single Discipline
I am especially drawn to problems that require both physical intuition and computational thinking.
Curiosity has been the common thread throughout my career: entering unfamiliar territory, learning from the fundamentals, and eventually turning that knowledge into something useful.

A Little More About Me
Outside engineering, I am an avid gamer and once reached Master tier on the North American League of Legends server.
I also enjoy animals, the outdoors, and discovering places and ideas beyond my everyday routine.
More than any single title or label, curiosity, persistence, and continuous learning are what define me best.
