About

Looking for opportunities to gain more experience in embedded systems design and hardware engineering. Lifter in the mornings. Playing with Arduinos by day. Taking broken (or semi-broken) electronics apart by night, salvaging what parts I can get from them. I play with the following (https://github.com/dr4nc3s/): Arduino development boards Espressif SoC (ESP8266 and ESP32) Raspberry Pi (recent) SAMC21 Xplained Pro (recent) PCB layout and personal breakout boards (EagleCAD, working on SAML21J breakout)

The mission of MAA is to promote the martial arts by teaching martial arts with a focus on the practical aspects and self-defense. I was one of the 4 co-founders of the club during my freshman year. Throughout my college career, I have led the practices and was the main instructor in the club, teaching Jeet Kune Do and eskrima. I helped choreograph demonstrations and have taught self-defense workshops on campus.
