I'm an electrical engineer currently located in the greater Cincinnati area, where I currently work in the Space division of L3Harris. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2022 with Bachelor Degree in Electrical Engineering as well as my MBA. I chose electrical engineering for my degree and profession from working with my father, which owns and operates a classic car restoration shop on the side; After working for him and saving money in the childhood, at the age of 14 I bought a 1970 Chevy Nova that was a cut up drag car (jump over to my projects page to see more on it). Over the course of 3 years, we completely restored it, replacing all metal except for the roof and the firewall. At the age of 16, he got me a wiring harness kit and told me to wire my car. It was quite the daunting task, and admittedly there were some bugs that had to be worked out after, and still are a couple, but I did it, and it ran. That experience was my first time working with anything DC voltage, although I was always fascinated with technology as a kid. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of wiring, and seeing it all work after, that it swayed me to lean in the electrical direction for college, as I was trying to pick an engineering field to go into.
I grew up in a very small, rural area, for reference we had dial-up internet up until I was in high school and then got satellite internet for 'high speed.' I'd go to my friends' house to play video games,
but I never got any exposure to coding, roboitics, or hobbyist electronics. College was quite the learning experience due to that, and I've become even more tech obsessed than it appeared I was as a kid.
I've always been a very hands-on person, and I love to build things. I've built a couple of computers, I've helped build a few cars, and my senior year I was able to build a couple small robots. My smart home
obsession has been a fun learning project as I get to play with shiny new hardware, but also learn the programming behind it to get functionality out of it. I've also been able to learn a lot about home networking
in college working with my roommate to have a network rack that controlled our smart devices, hosted a couple of servers, and then we had all the rooms hardwired for gaming.
I went into electrical engineering because it was broad and interesting to me, and that has continued to be the case, it has enabled me to learn such a variety of things, and the future possibilities are endless.
So that's me, at least a part of me. I'm a young engineer, ready to conquer the world, with plenty still to learn, but oh do I enjoy the process and working with others to develop cool stuff.
