about
Hello! I'm an electrical engineering and physics major at MIT. Here you'll find a list of the projects I've been working on, as well as their writeups (when i find the time to do them).
I also occasionally posts detailing my thoughts or interesting things that i've learnt.
From my major you can probably already tell that I'm interested in electrical engineering and physics, but i've also recently been getting into hardware hacking, functional programming, type theory, lean/physlean, and signal processing.
I spend a lot of my free time working on the MIT satelite team as the instrumentation lead where i've been designing a compact uv-vis spectrometer to fly on a satelite and high altitude balloon.
otherwise, you can catch me in the stata loading docks crufting old hardware to probe unsecured uart shells or repairing broken electronics.
projects

I like to do some astrophotography and occasionally take some nice pictures
