// about me

A bit about me

I'm a junior studying Electrical and Computer Engineering at UT Austin, focused on computer architecture and hardware design. I've spent two summers at Dell Technologies on the CSG System Architecture team — most recently building an AI pipeline that turns raw component datasheets into production-ready PCB footprints and schematic symbols.

I'm also a research assistant at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), and I serve as Professional Development Director for UT SHPE, where I built a corporate sponsorship and alumni outreach program that has raised $17,000+ for our 400+ member chapter.

Where I've worked

Computer Architecture + Software Engineering Intern @ Dell Technologies

May 2026 – Aug 2026 · Austin, TX
  • Built a first-of-its-kind AI tool in Python that reads raw component datasheets, extracts critical specs, and generates production-ready PCB footprints and schematic symbols — replacing a third-party vendor process that previously took 3 months
  • Solved a multi-domain problem spanning AI integration, technical document parsing, and PCB manufacturing standards (IPC-7351B), delivering outputs with near-perfect reliability
  • Wrote custom Python conversion pipelines that transform generated outputs into Cadence-compatible formats — a seamless end-to-end flow from raw datasheet to production-ready library parts with no manual intervention

Computer Architecture Intern @ Dell Technologies

May 2025 – Aug 2025 · Austin, TX
  • Used Cadence Allegro PCB Editor for high-level board design, gaining hands-on schematic and layout experience alongside senior system architects and PCB engineers
  • Researched NVIDIA Blackwell GPU and NPU architectures for Dell's Pro Max Plus mobile workstation line, analyzing performance trade-offs and future technology trends
  • Collaborated with the CTO's team and Marketing to align technical capabilities with customer use cases and assess potential market impact

Research Assistant @ Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC)

Jan 2025 – Present · Austin, TX
  • Help researchers and faculty present their work in TACC's high-end visualization laboratory — preparing demos that translate complex research into large-scale visual displays
  • Produce case studies highlighting student projects and research outcomes

Data Analyst Intern @ YETI

Jun 2024 – Aug 2024 · Austin, TX
  • Developed and validated a comprehensive weather dataset that drove both immediate and long-term business value
  • Delivered weather insights and analyses to senior stakeholders, influencing strategic ad optimization decisions
  • Identified customer behavior patterns linked to specific temperature thresholds, producing actionable reports on weather–product correlations

Things I've built

Datasheet-to-Component AI Tool

Datasheet in → PCB library part out

An AI pipeline built with Python and large language models that ingests raw component datasheets, extracts pinouts and package specs, and generates production-ready PCB footprints and schematic symbols in Cadence-compatible formats — compressing a vendor process that took months into minutes.

Command Post

Ops platform for a $1.2M towing company

A full-stack internal ops platform I built for Galindo's Towing & Transport — React, TypeScript, Cloudflare Workers, D1/SQLite, and Drizzle — covering accounts, dispatch, work orders, payroll/timeclock, Stripe payouts, compliance & claims recovery, and vehicle disposition. 12 modules on a 50-table schema with role-based access and field-level audit logging, running the company's operations in production since May 2026.
