About.

I'm a hardware and software engineer at the intersection of too many disciplines to list cleanly. Studying computer science at Purdue, but the education that sticks happens at the workbench — routing 4-layer PCBs in Altium, debugging CAN Bus traffic on an oscilloscope, or figuring out why an mTLS handshake is failing between a microcontroller and the cloud.

I build things that cross the boundary between physical and digital, and I tend to own the entire stack from schematic to deployment. That means I'm as comfortable reviewing a BOM for a 6-layer impedance-controlled board as I am shipping a containerized microservice — and I think that range is what makes the work interesting. The best products don't respect the line between hardware and software, so neither do I.

Currently engineering hardware and software at Terranova, where I design and deploy embedded systems for autonomous field robotics. That means multi-layer PCBs from scratch, firmware on STM32 LL and ESP-IDF, LTE Cat-M1 connectivity, analog sensor acquisition, and the containerized Linux environments and Vue interfaces that hold it all together in the field. I coordinate global fabrication runs, own hardware bring-up from first power-on through production validation, and debug at the register level with logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.

Through Koios Digital, I take on consulting work and build consumer hardware products focused on RF and cloud control. The big project right now is an IoT as-a-service platform — managed PKI, device observability, and secure provisioning for constrained devices. The kind of plumbing that hardware startups need but nobody wants to build twice. It's equal parts cryptography, infrastructure, and embedded C — which is exactly where I like to operate.

Led iOS and tvOS development for the Jellyfin open-source media server project, building SwiftFin — a native video player that serves as an alternative to Plex and Emby. The project taught me what it means to ship software that thousands of people depend on daily, and how to maintain a codebase across major platform releases while keeping a community of contributors moving in the same direction.

Early maker projects on Instructables drew the attention of parent company Autodesk, leading to a role as a founding member of their student ambassador program — an experience that turned building-in-public into a habit. Documenting the process, not just the result, became part of how I think about engineering.

That impulse to document and share is what eventually became this site — built with Nuxt and Vue, deployed on Cloudflare Workers at the edge. It's where the projects, write-ups, and everything in between end up.
