I'm an aerospace technician at Project Kuiper who builds embedded projects on the side — PCBs, firmware, physics sims on microcontrollers. Currently working toward a degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering at UW and looking for internships where I can go deep on real problems.
Selected Work
Six-sided cube running a falling-sand physics sim. ESP32-S3 drives 384 WS2812B LEDs across six panels, ICM-20948 IMU handles orientation. Firmware in C with a custom multi-matrix I2C bus. Tilt it and the particles fall.
→ build log & design writeup coming soon
Custom dev board designed in KiCad around the ATmega328PB-M (QFN-32) with CH340C USB-UART. Doubles as a business card. Full schematic from scratch — crystal load caps, USB-C CC resistors, DTR auto-reset, proper ground plane. Fab'd at JLCPCB.
→ first revision in production
Context
Aerospace Technician · current
Satellite hardware assembly and integration. Before this, same kind of work at Starlink.
Transfer student · in progress
Electrical & Computer Engineering. Coursework in circuits, systems, and embedded programming.
What I care about
The whole stack — schematic to layout to firmware to drivers. I want to understand every layer.
Internships · 2026
Embedded roles at mid-size companies. Somewhere I can go deep, not just wide.
