Hardware & Systems Engineer
As a multidisciplinary engineer, my expertise spans mechanical design, mechatronics, and embedded systems. From precision CAD modeling and additive manufacturing to configuring bare-metal Linux environments, I build robust, highly efficient machines. To demonstrate this philosophy, I engineered a salvaged 9x4cm microserver, "Project Demise", which successfully hosted this entire portfolio 24/7 from my office wall for over two years.
Available for full-time engineering roles and consulting.
I am a multidisciplinary engineer bridging the gap between strategic business management and technical hardware execution. Currently pursuing my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at University West, I leverage a prior B.S. in International Business Management to approach complex problems with a unique dual perspective: balancing high-level project optimization with deep, hands-on technical development.
My approach is rooted in extreme efficiency and hardware optimization. I believe the most robust systems are those stripped of unnecessary bloat, where every component, from the thermal interface to the deployment script, is engineered for a specific purpose.
I thrive at the intersection of mechanical design, electronic prototyping, and systems administration. I advocate for a "full-lifecycle" engineering mindset: the ability to build the physical enclosure, solder the logic board, and configure the bare-metal Linux environment that runs it all.

Designed and fabricated a custom passive/active cooling system for a Lenovo Compute Stick 300. Stripped of its original casing, it was re-engineered with a custom 9x4cm thermal array to prevent throttling. Converted into a headless Debian microserver routing traffic securely via Cloudflare Tunnels, which hosted this exact portfolio for over two years before being archived.
Engineered an IoT air quality and odor neutralization system by retrofitting a commercial automated dispenser. Powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico W and a BME680 sensor, the device streams live environmental telemetry via MQTT to a custom Home Assistant dashboard.
Commissioned to engineer a specialized commercial tool for cutting gypsum board. The project spanned from reverse-engineering physical examples into initial 3D CAD models, to producing high-fidelity renders for design validation, and culminating in strict technical drawings for manufacturing handoff.
Designed and fabricated a heavy-duty, multi-stage fume extraction system for soldering and chemical prototyping. Engineered a custom high-static-pressure centrifugal blower (snail-shell housing) from scratch to successfully force air through a massive HEPA filter and deep activated carbon bed.
