I’m a computer engineer who’s passionate about merging creativity with engineering. I love innovating, optimizing, and approaching challenges in imaginative ways.
I specialize in both PCB and IC design, with work experience both in big industry and in fast-moving startups. I’ve recently solved problems in high-throughput materials discovery systems, autopilots for avionics, and processors in space. More recently, I’ve been developing post-training infrastructure to enable PCB design with LLMs.
Besides work I love traveling, hiking, running, art, and gaining new perspectives on life. The design for this website came from one of my favorite artists!

Yonder
In 2024, I joined Yonder to develop high-throughput electrochemistry systems. Yonder is a fast-moving startup using AI-driven analysis to discover new materials. The core idea is to use a proprietary materials discovery lab to autonomously create materials at scale, training AI on real data and not synthetic predictions.
At Yonder I created a self-driving electrochemistry system from end-to-end. I wrote a full software stack to manage lab equipment, fetch, and preprocess data for AI. Additionally I developed hardware, including both a CMOS “lab-on-a-chip” with over 1000 electrode sites directly on silicon, and various supporting PCBs.
I’m currently serving as a technical advisor to support the system's continued growth.
AeroVironment
In 2026, I joined AeroVironment to develop industry-grade avionics boards. Throughout my time there I built hardware to enable fully-autonomous autopilot. My work focused on design tradeoffs to optimize cost for scaling production while also meeting the various needs of different product lines. I worked extensively in Altium to implement both schematic and layout.
ARX
Recently, I joined a startup providing evals and post-training infrastructure to frontier labs to train industry-leading AI models. Since joining, I’ve led the expansion of the company’s electrical engineering expertise and have developed frameworks to advance PCB creation ability in frontier models.
Rather than designing hardware directly, I focus on how to break down electrical engineering into learnable steps that build to a combinatorial product. I am beyond excited to be applying my skill set in an unconventional way and for a cutting-edge industry. If you are interested in collaborating, reach out!
