Bio

My dream is to immerse myself in the world of Computer Engineering. I have always loved computers and the uniqueness and customization that hardware offers. I am fascinated by how an infinite number of combinations between different parts can influence performance or aesthetics. I have tinkered with and explored different hardware as I built custom mechanical keyboards and computers for my friends and family and taught myself how to solder circuit boards. I realized that Computer Engineering was the major that truly represented who I am and what I enjoy doing. I can turn my interest of computers into a career that I can both enjoy and help others. I can’t wait to work in the Maker Lab on campus to share my unique experience with other people in the computer community and in return hear theirs as we dive into the rabbit hole of computer engineering.
