Electrical engineering student with a passion for RF systems, defense technology, and solving real-world engineering challenges
I'm an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Detroit Mercy, pursuing an accelerated BS/MS program and consistently earning a place on the Dean's List. I'm currently a Junior expected to graduate in April 2027. My academic journey has been driven by a deep fascination with how electrical systems work and how they can be applied to solve complex, real-world problems.
My experience spans a diverse range of electrical engineering disciplines, including RF systems, high-powered microwave testing, circuit design, digital logic, and embedded systems. I've been fortunate to work on cutting-edge projects in both defense and cybersecurity sectors, where I've contributed to antenna design, HPM research, vulnerability assessments, and secure communication systems.
What drives me most is the opportunity to build real hardware and develop practical systems that make a tangible impact. Whether it's designing an autonomous robot, programming an FPGA for precise servo control, or developing passive filter sensors for electromagnetic detection, I find deep satisfaction in bringing theoretical concepts to life through hands-on engineering work.
I'm actively seeking Summer 2026 internship opportunities in the automotive and defense sectors, where I can apply my skills in RF systems, embedded systems, and circuit design to tackle real-world engineering challenges. I'm particularly interested in roles that involve hands-on hardware development, signal analysis, and system integration.
My goal is to contribute to teams working on innovative technologies that push the boundaries of what's possible—whether that's advancing autonomous vehicle systems, developing next-generation communication technologies, or creating robust defense systems that protect national security. I value collaborative environments where I can learn from experienced engineers while contributing my own skills and fresh perspectives.
Beyond technical contributions, I bring strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering high-quality work. My experience across multiple DoD programs has given me an understanding of working within security-sensitive environments and adhering to rigorous engineering standards.
My journey into electrical engineering began with a curiosity about how technology works and a desire to create systems that solve meaningful problems. At the University of Detroit Mercy, I've embraced the challenge of the accelerated BS/MS program, which has allowed me to deepen my technical knowledge while maintaining academic excellence on the Dean's List.
Through my internships with USASMDC-TC and AFRL via the VICEROY program, I've gained invaluable hands-on experience in defense engineering and cybersecurity. At Huntsville, Alabama, I worked on satellite communication antenna systems and high-powered microwave research with Radiance Technologies, contributing to the development of passive filter sensors for HPM detection. In Rome, New York, I participated in the prestigious VICEROY MAVEN DoD research program, where I conducted vulnerability assessments and explored SDR-based secure communication techniques. I even had the privilege of participating in the NSA Cyber Defense Exercise "Blue Edge: Concord Dawn."
Beyond my internship experiences, I've dedicated time to helping others succeed in engineering. As a Teaching Assistant and STEM Tutor at the University of Detroit Mercy, I've supported students in circuit and logic design courses, providing debugging assistance, lab guidance, and clear explanations of complex technical concepts. Teaching has not only reinforced my own understanding but has also developed my communication skills—an essential trait for any engineer working in collaborative environments.
My technical skills span multiple programming languages including C++, SystemVerilog, and MATLAB, as well as design tools like Simulink, Multisim, and hardware platforms such as the Basys3 FPGA and TIVA-C microcontroller. I'm comfortable working across the full spectrum of electrical engineering—from low-level embedded systems programming to high-level system architecture design.
I believe the best way to learn engineering is by building real systems. From autonomous robots to FPGA-based servo controllers, I thrive on turning theoretical knowledge into working prototypes.
Engineering isn't just about technical skills—it's about communicating complex ideas clearly. My teaching experience has honed my ability to explain technical concepts to diverse audiences.
Technology evolves rapidly, and I'm committed to staying at the forefront. Whether it's a new FPGA architecture or emerging RF technologies, I embrace the challenge of learning new systems.
When I'm not immersed in engineering projects or coursework, I enjoy staying active and building community through sports and campus involvement. I find that maintaining a balance between focused technical work and other interests helps me approach problems with fresh perspectives and creative solutions.
