Electrical Engineer. RF, Analog & Mixed-Signal Design. Researcher.

Bio

My professional interests lie in RF, analog, and mixed-signal hardware, particularly at the point where idealized circuit behavior meets physical implementation. This work spans discrete RF and microwave circuit synthesis, high-speed data conversion and clocking, and the parasitic, coupling, and layout effects that ultimately determine whether a design succeeds in hardware.

Central to these interests is the gap between simulation and measurement. Closing that gap requires more than tuning a circuit until it meets specification; it requires understanding why the circuit behaves as it does. That means tracing performance from device physics and architectural decisions through physical implementation and bench verification, then using measured discrepancies to refine both the design and the models behind it.

Alongside my role as a Principal Engineer at Northrop Grumman, I am pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University. My research focus is applied machine learning for RFIC design accelerating design-space exploration, surrogate modeling, optimization, and verification of high-frequency integrated circuits.

I ran competitively for years and had a good stint at it. I am washed up now — I will say that plainly — but I still train, still lace up, still find something clarifying about the discipline of it. Running taught me more about sustained effort and honest self-assessment than most things I have studied. I carry that with me.

On Everything Else

Outside of engineering I am drawn to philosophy, poetry, and the great thinkers of the Enlightenment. Kant, Hume, Voltaire, Rousseau — the project of grounding knowledge in reason rather than authority still feels urgent. I read poetry the way some people listen to music: for the compression of it, the way a good line holds more than it says. These interests are not separate from the technical work. They inform how I think about rigor, clarity, and what it means to actually understand something.
