ECE at UIUC.
Race cars, Rust assemblers,
and whatever breaks next.

A full assembler for the LC-3 instruction set, written in Rust. Lexer, two-pass assembly, symbol table, binary encoder for all 15 instructions. Error messages that are actually useful.

Dense papers are hard to read. I built a pipeline that parses and restructures them in real time — LLM-driven, with a modular prompt architecture on the backend.

A calculator built entirely from logic circuits — no microcontrollers, no shortcuts. Addition and subtraction, with a register to carry results forward.

Light-seeking robot (analog sensor feedback), applause meter (signal conditioning and threshold detection), and a vending machine controller (FSM in digital logic). First real exposure to hardware that does something.

Designed the power distribution network for a lunar habitat. The hard part wasn't the solar panels — it was energy allocation across uneven terrain with a solar storm incoming. Presented to Boeing engineers.

Led a team of six on an experimental proposal to measure muon lifetimes using delay wire chambers and scintillation counters, working directly with CERN physicists.

Authored and published a peer-reviewed paper on the use of MBSE in design methodology.

Part of the team building a formula-style electric race car from scratch. On the low voltage side: power distribution and control circuits. On sensors: signal conditioning and getting reliable data out of hardware running at speed on a track.

Primary point of contact for students, faculty, and visitors. Manage scheduling logistics, facility coordination, and day-to-day departmental operations.

Manage outreach to 800+ James Scholars via Instagram and email newsletters, covering honors seminars, research opportunities, and networking events.

Automated daily inventory processes reducing manual errors by 30%. Redesigned and rebuilt the company website.

Scaled the program from 50 to 150 learners across three community centres by standardising a computing curriculum covering digital literacy, programming basics, and intro hardware.
