ABOUT

I'm a 3rd year Electrical Engineering student at the University of South Florida building toward a career in defense systems. My work sits at the intersection of power distribution, embedded firmware, and national security hardware. I bench-build, bench-validate, and document with measurable outcomes.

I'm currently an EE intern at Orbital Corporation working on IPC-A-610 Class 3 tactical communications wiring harnesses, multi-pin crimp connections, and EMI shielding layout. I'm also the founder and lead researcher of Ellis Dynamics, a countermeasure systems company, where I'm building a GPS-denied navigation validation pipeline using Kalman filtering, 6-DOF IMU fusion, and dead reckoning anchored in ARL and DARPA INS literature.

In Spring 2026 I was selected as a GNSI Future Strategist, spending five days embedded in the national security ecosystem: the Pentagon, Capitol Hill, CNAS, and Lockheed Martin. I hold CompTIA Security+, which grounds my systems work in secure protocol and infrastructure awareness. I serve as Technical Development Chair for NSBE USF, running technical programming for a 100+ member chapter.

Education: B.S. Electrical Engineering, University of South Florida — expected May 2028. Coursework in AC/DC circuit analysis, power systems, MATLAB/Simulink, and embedded systems design. Certification: CompTIA Security+, issued January 2026 — infrastructure security, secure protocols, and identity management. Verification available upon request.
