ENGINEERING JOURNEY

Learning by building, testing, and improving.

I am a Computer Engineering student at the University of Central Florida with interests in embedded systems, robotics, artificial intelligence, and intelligent automation.

I enjoy solving practical problems and understanding how hardware and software work together. Through coursework, personal projects, and hands-on experience, I am continuing to expand both my technical skills and engineering judgment.

I am currently seeking an engineering internship where I can contribute, learn from experienced professionals, and gain meaningful real-world experience.

ENGINEERING PORTFOLIO

Projects demonstrating growth in embedded systems, software, and hardware.

Bid Intelligence analytics dashboard
BI
COMPETITIVE ANALYTICS Bid Intelligence
FEATURED SOFTWARE PROJECT React • JavaScript

Bid Intelligence

Building a competitive bid analytics platform that uses historical construction bid data to analyze competitor pricing, backtest predictive models, and generate testable pre-bid estimates.

The application analyzes historical pricing behavior and evaluates prediction models using walk-forward backtesting, project-size weighting, bidder-specific modeling, and model diagnostics.

Engineering skills
  • React application development
  • JavaScript and application state
  • Predictive modeling
  • Data analysis and debugging
Core features
  • Walk-forward backtesting
  • Competitor-specific modeling
  • Project-size weighting
  • Model diagnostics
ENGINEERING CHALLENGE

Designing a prediction system that can learn from limited historical data while preventing future bid results from leaking into historical model tests.

Arduino Simon Says Memory Game
FEATURED EMBEDDED PROJECT Arduino · C++

Simon Says Memory Game

Designed and programmed an interactive memory game using an Arduino Uno, four colored LEDs, four push buttons, and a passive buzzer.

The game generates increasingly longer random sequences, validates player input, provides synchronized light and sound feedback, and restarts after an incorrect response.

Engineering skills

  • Embedded programming
  • Digital input and output
  • Arrays, functions, and game logic
  • Hardware/software debugging

Core features

  • Random sequence generation
  • Increasing difficulty
  • Passive buzzer audio feedback
  • Player input validation
ENGINEERING CHALLENGE

Coordinating LED timing, buzzer tones, and button input while keeping the gameplay responsive and preventing incorrect inputs from being accepted.
