About

I'm currently employed by Sandia National Laboratories as a principal member of the technical staff.

I got my PhD in EECS from UC Berkeley in August of 2023 as part of the Berkeley Autonomous Microsystems Lab, advised by professor Kristofer Pister.

I got my BS in EECS from UC Berkeley in 2017; here's a photo with me in it courtesy of the Daily Cal back when CS61A was only ~1000 students in the fall.

Goal: observe interesting objects and phenomena, which includes building systems to enable said observation.
