I am an Electrical Engineer working at Second Order Effects in El Segundo, California. I'm a member of the Advanced Projects team, working on larger "aerospace"-style projects.
This site primarily serves to document my personal projects, though feel free to reach out if you're interested in talking about my work at SOE!
I graduated from Oregon State with an Electrical and Computer Engineering degree. Outside of my studies at Oregon State, I was the President and Mars Rover Team Lead for the OSU Robotics Club and I worked for the Ocean Mixing Group at OSU developing an autonomous oceanographic research platform, ROSS.
I’ve designed many using Altium Designer. I’ve done the schematic layout, board level design, and assembly for at least 25 PCBs. For more information on my PCB projects, you can view my documentation here [link]. To see some of my PCBs in the “wild”, read my post about ROSS’s Electronics Boxes.
I lead an ever growing team of currently 5 engineering students developing the electronics for the Robotic Oceanographic Surface Sampler. For more information about the project, check out it’s page here [link].
I’ve served as president of the largest academic organization at OSU since June 2015. Learn more about the Robotics Club at osurobotics.club! For more information, check out my resume or this other excerpt from my website.

Feel free to contact me! Whether you are interested in talking to me about what I’ve done, the Robotics Club, or just want to chat, I’d be happy to talk to you!
For more information on my PCB Design projects, including documentation and design files, visit here.
I have multiple publicly available templates for things such as Bills of Materials and Purchase Orders, as well as a Google Sheet Add-On that makes making those things easier. Feel free to use everything on this page if it will help you!
