Hello! I am an undergraduate student studying Computer Engineering with a minor in business at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (graduating in May 2026). My interest mainly lies in hardware verification, digital logic design, and computer architecture.

I love learning new things through hands-on work, and I believe doing projects is one of the best ways to learn! I’ve worked on projects like taping out a custom FPGA from the ground up with a small team, building a RISC-V Out-of-Order processor with advanced features, and writing a Python-to-Verilog generator using Python’s AST. I’ve also done hands-on RTL design, timing analysis, and scripting to speed up tool flows. I enjoy working where hardware meets software and love building things that are both elegant and efficient. Check out the Project Tab to see all projects I’ve done!
