About Me

I engineer embedded systems. C/C++, microcontrollers, Linux, and low-level debugging are what I spend most of my time on. My projects often involve computer vision, control systems, RTOS, and RF. I build things that interact with the physical world. Before getting into software, I was a mechanic for 10 years and a machinist for 5. I know mechanical and electrical systems from the ground up, and I can contribute to both the software team and the shop floor. I’m finishing a B.S. in Software Engineering with an Embedded Systems certificate at BYU-Idaho.

My Journey

2026 - Next Steps

Bridging Mechanical and Digital

Graduating with a B.S. in Software Engineering and a certificate in Embedded Systems. The goal is to be an engineer who understands both mechanical and digital systems. The limitations I once hit are now the problems I solve.

Embedded Python Automation

Embedded Systems

In college, embedded systems clicked. Years of working with my hands combined with software made it a natural fit. Started building computer vision turrets, RF signal detectors, and RFID research tools.

C/C++ STM32 FreeRTOS Computer Vision RF/SDR Linux

2022

College: Software Engineering

Started at BYU-Idaho studying Software Engineering. Learned to code the systems I always wanted to build. Real time control, drivers, automation, and system-level programming opened up new ways to solve the mechanical problems I already understood.

Python C Web

Age 18 - 21

Machinist

Started running CNC mills and lathes, making precision parts to +/-0.0001" tolerances. Learned G-code, CAD, tool path optimization, and quality inspection. I learned from expert mentours, and leaders. At this point I felt i had made it far in the mechanical world but my dreams and aspirations drove me to software and the digital world.

CNC Automation CAD

Age 14 -18

My time as a mechanic and fabricator

Started building my first desert race truck. Got my first job as a mechanic, a local shop owner took me under his wing. I learned diagnostics, fabrication, welding, and became extremeley resourceful and scrappy with my resources. But i needed more, I needed to be able to manufacture at a higher level to accomplish my goals.

CAD

Age 10 - 12

Fabrication and engines

Started building drift-trikes, go-karts, and mini bikes. Learned how engines work by taking them apart and experimenting with power modifications.

The Beginning

Driven To Innovate

Always building and creating things. Stealing my dad's power tools to work on projects. The drive to understand how things work, and improve them started before I can remember.
