From CS Student to Technical Co-Founder

I'm an Embedded Systems & AI Engineer who believes that great technology should solve real problems and create measurable value. As a recent UMass Boston CS graduate (May 2025), I've already co-founded a successful Voice AI platform and engineered IoT systems that save companies tens of thousands annually.

My journey from student to technical co-founder has been driven by one core principle: build systems that work flawlessly in production and deliver real business impact. Whether it's architecting distributed IoT networks for agricultural automation or developing voice AI platforms serving hundreds of calls monthly, I focus on reliability, scalability, and measurable outcomes.

What sets me apart is my ability to bridge hardware and software seamlessly. I've programmed ESP32 microcontrollers for industrial IoT deployments, integrated complex third-party APIs, and built full-stack web applications—all while maintaining a business-first mindset that prioritizes user needs and bottom-line results.

What Drives Me

I'm passionate about the intersection of embedded systems and AI—where intelligent algorithms meet real-world hardware constraints. I thrive in environments where technical excellence directly translates to business success, and I'm seeking opportunities to contribute this mindset to a forward-thinking engineering team.

Technical Expertise

Six years of hands-on experience across the full stack, from microcontroller programming to AI model deployment, with a track record of delivering production-ready systems.
