Bio
I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering. Since graduating, I have continued to explore the world of semiconductors and integrated circuit design and fabrication. I am reading anything I can get my hands on to deepen my understanding of how circuits are designed and manufactured, as I continue to apply for jobs. I am taking my lack of current opportunities as an opportunity for independent study and growth, utilizing tools such as LTspice and KLayout to simulate and practice the circuit design problems in the books I am reading.
Projects and Achievements
Educational Background
Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering
The University of British Columbia
Graduation Year: 2025
Focused on electrical engineering principles with emphasis on circuit design, semiconductor theory, and integrated systems. Developed strong foundation in analog and digital circuit analysis, signal processing, and electronic system design. I began my pursuit of an electrical engineering degree in 2020 at the peak of the pandemic.
