A 3rd year Electrical Engineering student at the University of South Florida building toward a career in defense systems. Currently an EE intern at Orbital Corporation working on tactical communications hardware, a USF Global & National Security Institute Future Strategist with direct exposure to Pentagon and Capitol Hill decision-makers, the founder of ARMS, a student research organization currently building a GPS-denied navigation validation pipeline anchored in ARL and DARPA literature, and the Technical Development Chair for NSBE USF. My work sits at the intersection of embedded systems, resilient power, and national security, bench-built and clearance eligible.
Industry summits, research briefings, and engineering showcases. Where technical work meets operational context.
