Electrical Engineering Student · Industrial Design Graduate
I design and build hardware end to end, from user research and enclosure to PCB and firmware. Electrical Engineering at the University of Ottawa, with a completed Industrial Design degree from Humber College.
Open to hardware, embedded and PCB design roles
I am an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Ottawa with a degree background in Industrial Design, seeking roles in hardware design and hardware verification. I build and prototype complete embedded hardware systems, bridging multi-layer PCB layout, component selection, board bring-up, and mechanical enclosure integration (DFM/CAD) into functional physical assemblies.
My work centers on benchtop execution, including hands-on lab debugging, signal verification, and C/C++ microcontroller firmware. Driven by an interest in computer architecture, I am also learning digital logic design and building a custom RISC-V processor project in Verilog on FPGAs.
B.A.Sc. Candidate in Electrical Engineering at the University of Ottawa, building on a completed Bachelor of Industrial Design from Humber College.
Full-lifecycle embedded boards, spanning schematic capture, component selection, board bring-up, and custom enclosure fit.
Actively learning digital logic design and developing a custom RISC-V core project in Verilog for FPGA target hardware.

My Industrial Design degree covered user research, sketching, prototyping and usability testing. Electrical Engineering adds circuits, firmware and computer architecture, so I can design both the enclosure and the electronics inside it.
Digital computer organization, datapath design, ALU logic, and instruction sets. Made a simple processor in lab.
Advanced computing systems, memory hierarchies, cache, and bus protocols. Working with C and embedded systems development.
Linear DC/AC circuit analysis, Kirchhoff's Laws (KVL/KCL), Thévenin and Norton equivalents, op-amps, and transient RLC circuits.
Advanced AC circuit analysis, Laplace transform techniques, frequency response, active/passive filters, resonance, and three-phase power.
Semiconductor physics, PN-junction diode rectifiers, BJT and MOSFET amplifier DC biasing, and small-signal linear equivalent modeling.
Single and multivariable calculus, series and multiple integrals.
Vector spaces, matrix algebra, eigenvalues and linear systems.
ODEs, Laplace transforms, numerical approximation and dynamic systems modeling.
Newtonian mechanics, energy, momentum and rotational dynamics.
Electrostatics, Gauss, Ampère and Faraday laws, capacitance, inductance and Maxwell’s equations.
End-to-end engineering product lifecycle: customer requirements translation, concept trade-off matrices, DFM/DFA, and physical prototype validation.
Multidisciplinary engineering fundamentals, client-driven problem formulation, collaborative design, 3D CAD modeling, and fabrication.
Concept sketching, form development, materials and manufacturing processes, 3D CAD, rendering, and physical model making.
Year-long research and design project. Augmented Dance Education: a sensor-driven biofeedback system taken from user research to working prototype.
User research, personas, journey mapping, wireframing, interactive prototyping, and usability testing. Turning user needs into testable requirements.
Typography, layout, branding, and visual hierarchy. Clear technical documentation, diagrams, and presentations for engineering and non-technical audiences.
I'm currently open to embedded hardware, firmware, and PCB design opportunities. Whether you have an engineering role to discuss or a project in mind, let's talk.
