About Me
Hi, I'm an Electrical and Computer Engineering student with a background in Computer Information Systems, passionate about connecting the dots between technology, business, and security. My time as a Cost Estimator at Mare Island Dry Dock, LLC gave me hands-on experience in project estimation, data analysis, and working across teams to get things done. I enjoy diving into Python, C++, CAD, and even 3D printing—tools that let me bring ideas to life. I'm always looking for ways to apply what I’ve learned to real-world projects, whether through internships, research, or innovative engineering challenges. At the heart of it, I’m driven by the opportunity to combine my technical knowledge with a business-minded approach, and I’m excited to tackle the next big challenge in electrical and computer engineering.
