I build systems where hardware meets firmware: from FPGA logic and custom RTOS schedulers to motion control and computer vision. I like the hard, low-level problems that make a machine actually work.
I grew up in Honduras and moved to the United States for university. That decision shaped a lot about how I work: I had to figure things out on my own, adapt fast, and get comfortable being the person who just digs in and builds. I'm a US citizen and a recent Computer Engineering graduate from Texas Tech.
Most of my time at TTU went into building things from scratch. Custom RTOS, FPGA-based robotics, firmware for a CoreXY 3D printer, a browser-controlled rover with live video streaming. I'm most comfortable at the layer where hardware and software meet, where you have to understand both sides to make anything actually work.
I'm looking for roles in firmware, embedded systems, or hardware-software integration where I can keep doing that kind of work. I care about the details: clean state machines, deterministic timing, and code that holds up when the system is under stress.

Hands-on engineering projects across embedded firmware, robotics, automation, and computer vision. Open any plate for the full teardown.
Custom CoreXY printer with firmware written from scratch — synchronized stepper control, two-stage homing, PID thermal control, and full safety interlocks.
Fully autonomous delivery rover on an Artix-7 FPGA with real-time color detection, PWM motor control, line following, IR comms, and a servo claw.
STM32L476 hydroponics system running a cooperative RTOS built from scratch — deterministic scheduling, INA219 power monitoring, and an ESP32 dashboard.
Browser-controlled rover on a Pi Zero 2 W — Flask control server, TB6612FNG H-bridge GPIO drive, and a low-latency GStreamer/MediaMTX video pipeline.
Raspberry Pi automation with modular Python — linear-actuator door control, RFID tracking, OpenCV counting, and a graduated predator-deterrent system.
Real-time card detection in OpenCV — adaptive thresholding, contour filtering, perspective warping, and template matching with confidence gating.
Full-stack web application with seat selection, payment processing, user reviews, and star ratings — built with Python, Flask, and a relational database backend.
