Hey, I'm
Building at the intersection of hardware and software.
I'm a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, where my research focuses on computer architecture. My work sits at the boundary of hardware design and systems software.
I hold dual bachelor's degrees from the Georgia Institute of Technology — one in Computer Science (threads in AI/ML and Systems & Architecture) and one in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Robotics.
Member of the Hardware Validation Engineering (HVE) team, contributing across Mac and Servers projects with a focus on device testing and end-to-end automation improvements.
Software & Automation
Hardware
Senior capstone collaboration between Georgia Tech and Owens & Minor, designing an active cooling coverall to reduce heat stress for cleanroom PPE wearers. Led a 6-member interdisciplinary team through weekly design reviews, coordinating mechanical, electrical, and software workstreams from concept to validated prototype.

Optimizing Metadata Placement for Secure Memory Caching
Memory devices are vulnerable to a variety of active and passive attacks that makes stored data subject to leakage and/or corruption. In order to mitigate these vulnerabilities, hardware may implement secure memory: a protocol in which data is encrypted prior to leaving the trusted boundary (the chip) and secure hashes are used to authenticate its integrity. To account for the runtime and bandwidth pressure on the memory system, secure memory hardware employs a small metadata cache, but the relatively limited metadata cache capacity restricts the realization of the cache's full potential. This work characterizes the trade-off space of secure memory caching optimizations and describes a novel architectural feature that enables cache optimizations by leveraging the last-level cache capacity using different metadata placement policies. We show that our approach can reduce memory access latency by up to 19% and by 8% on average.

Active Cooling Coverall
BMED 4602 — Capstone Design Spring 2025I owned the embedded systems and engineering analysis side of the project: PCB design for the Peltier driver circuit, thermal and electrical modeling to characterize optimal voltage/current inputs from the module spec sheet, and fabricating the housing container that integrates the cooling system inside the coverall.

Peltier Thermal Modeling
Designed and built an active cooling system integrated into cleanroom coveralls to combat heat stress in workers required to wear full-body PPE for extended shifts. The system uses a Peltier module powered by an in-coverall battery to actively pump heat outward across a gradient, dissipating it into the room without compromising sterilization.

This repo focuses on implementing quantum circuit optimizations with the intent to improve the QAOA algorithm. This is a full-stack approach which tries to incorporate quantum compiler-level improvements and a modified quantum error correction procedure.

'wake' is a command that allows you to implement wake-on-lan commands in a centralized format using either traditional wake on lan protocol via wifi or via an ssh device.
Designed and flew an experiment to the International Space Station aboard SSEP Mission 14 to investigate how microgravity affects lactic acid fermentation in kimchi production. Upon the sample's return to Earth, conducted titration against a ground-truth control to quantify lactic acid output and characterize how reduced gravity alters anaerobic bacterial respiration.
