I am an Electrical Engineering student at Bradley University focused on embedded systems, controls, electronics, and hands-on engineering projects. I am currently seeking internship and co-op opportunities in embedded systems, controls, automation, robotics, electronics, manufacturing, and test engineering.

My work includes embedded audio systems, wearable signal-processing validation, analog circuit prototyping, MATLAB/Simulink control systems, and Python data-analysis tools.

Featured Engineering Projects

Polyphonic Digital Synthesizer

Built a real-time polyphonic synthesizer using a Teensy 4.1, Teensy Audio Shield, MIDI input, and the Teensy Audio Library. Implemented four-voice synthesis, ADSR envelopes, waveform switching, drum sequencing, Arduino LCD/LED feedback, ultrasonic gesture control, and Python MIDI routing.

Real-Time ECG Processing & Arrhythmia Detection

Contributed to team validation of a wearable heart-monitor prototype using ESP32-C3, C, Python, BLE, and fixed-point Pan-Tompkins QRS detection at 200 Hz. Supported MATLAB-vs-C comparison, integration testing, and documentation of accuracy, latency, memory, BLE, and battery results.

Guitar Overdrive Pedal

Helped design, simulate, and test an LM324 guitar overdrive circuit using RC filtering, 1N4148 clipping diodes, PSpice, a function generator, oscilloscope, 9 V bench supply, and 3PDT foot switch.

Automated Insulin Pump Control System

Modeled a closed-loop glucose-insulin control system in MATLAB/Simulink, tuned controller gain, and analyzed overshoot, rise time, settling time, and steady-state response.

Python Stock Analysis Dashboard

Built a Python dashboard for stock analysis, portfolio allocation, backtesting, and visualization using pandas, NumPy, yfinance, matplotlib, and SciPy optimization.
