Summary
Transitioning to Electrical Engineering has been fun. I enjoy circuit board and firmware development and love taking on new challenges. Learning new skills and technologies keeps me motivated, and I’m proud to have pioneered the School Bus Stop-Arm Camera System at Altumint and contributed to the Autonomous Aerostat System at Aeros.
