Orion - Funded By AMD - Program Manger, Lead Software Engineer

October 2025 - Present

I proposed the Orion Program, a curriculum support initiative sponsored by AMD, I designed and led a series of prerequisite lectures and hands-on labs to prepare students for advanced courses in hardware verification and digital logic design. I built the instructional pipeline from the ground up: developing teaching materials, creating practical exercises, and providing direct technical mentorship to help students build confidence with SystemVerilog, simulation workflows, and hardware-level thinking before entering upper-division coursework.

In parallel, I serve as the Lead Software Engineer for our related research project developing a full verification suite targeting Xilinx FPGA boards. My work spans SystemVerilog for testbench development, Python for automation and tooling infrastructure, and C++ for performance-critical components. This project integrates real hardware workflows with modern verification practices, and my role focuses on architecting the software stack that enables scalable, reliable testing across multiple hardware platforms.

AREA67 - Software Engineering Research Intern

October 2025 - Present

Building a virtual profiler that visualizes Golang runtime tracing data, showing exactly how goroutines move across threads and CPU cores over time. It turns low-level scheduler events into an interactive timeline, making it easy to spot bottlenecks, contention, and performance issues in highly concurrent Go applications.

DRACO - Software Engineering Research Intern

March 2025 - Present

Currently, I am developing partially homomorphic encryption algorithms in C++ for an encrypted processing unit. My work involves leaking bits of data, but masking and spreading them across locked threads in order to increase speed while maintaining privacy. As this research is still in development, I cannot say much more.

I previously contributed to advancing next-generation satellite intelligence by prototyping computer vision algorithms in Python, MemTorch, and PyTorch for real-time flood detection, optimized to run on memristor-based systems for low-latency performance.

These efforts not only accelerated the lab's workflow but also positioned our work for potential application in disaster-response systems, demonstrating the real-world impact of research conducted at DRACO.

ACM - Vice President

August 2024 - Present

As Vice President of the Association for Computing Machinery at UCF, I led the organization's transition toward a research-focused model, raising the technical caliber of student projects and strengthening collaborations with university labs.

I designed and delivered hands-on workshops in computer vision, distributed systems, and kernel development, creating original instructional materials and codebases that engaged and upskilled members in applied AI.

I also expanded the chapter's industry presence by forging connections with professionals, securing guest speakers, and initiating a grant program to fund student-led research, ultimately positioning the chapter as a hub for both technical growth and professional development, maintaing funding of over $10,000. Under my leadership, membership engagement and event turnout significantly increased; witnessing a growth of 300+ members in four months.
