FPGA / RTL·Embedded·Silicon

Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. I build digital hardware from the gate level up — RTL & FSM design, pipelined datapaths, testbench-driven verification, mixed-signal PCBs and embedded systems — living at the seam between silicon and software.

2026 · Siemens
// Embedded Industrial Control

Validation and troubleshooting of embedded industrial control systems integrating sensors, controllers, communication networks and field devices. Investigates system-level issues across hardware, firmware and communication interfaces using diagnostic tools, signal analysis and log data.

Engineering Intern — Industrial Automation

Tetra Pak
// Real-Time Production Systems

Worked on high-speed, continuously running production lines — AC/DC and brushless motors, Siemens & Parker drives, actuators and sensors. Ran root-cause analysis on system failures via signal and control-logic analysis on Siemens S7-300 / S7-1200 PLCs (TIA Portal, Step 7). Integrated a Danfoss temperature controller with the PLC over Modbus TCP for closed-loop control, and prototyped a Python computer-vision approach for print-defect detection.
