Electrical Engineer
EE @ Duke.
Smart Sleep Mask
Worked on sleep devices with the NIH Deputy Director in high school; this led to developing sleep devices independently. First presale sold out in under 3 hours and funded subsequent PCB projects.
(WIP) Dorm Room Semiconductor Fab
Starting the first student-run semiconductor fab at Duke by building every tool in the lab from scratch, inspired by the open-source Hacker Fab project.
Stereo Surgical Camera
Partnered with a surgeon to record emergency surgeries to eventually license the first open surgery dataset.
Flight controller PCB
I built this flight controller from part selection to layout in 1 day as my cover letter for a drone company I applied to.
Entrepreneurship
First hire at Faction.ai helping close $XM in contracted revenue under 10 weeks while supporting an 8x oversubscribed fundraise. Run my own social media account that generates $XXk a month.
Universal remote
Arduino-compatible shield implementing a universal IR remote; supported protocols for all IR-controlled devices on campus.
Aero telemetry PCB
Led development of Duke Aero's telemetry PCB—custom STM32F411 board interfacing with the main flight computer to handle 5+ telemetry sensors.
Robotics ESC PCB
Developed an ESC PCB to house motor ESCs; reduced total hardware volume by 50% and eliminated the need for active cooling.
Free electron laser lab EE
Hired as undergraduate EE to develop digital vacuum interfaces and sensor implementation for Duke free electron laser lab vacuum system.
Athletics
Folkstyle, freestyle, and Greco-Roman wrestling national qualifier (113 lbs); BJJ fighter under Caio Terra.
