Roles And Teams That Show How I Work.

Electrical Engineer

UBC Thunderbots , Vancouver, BC

Designed, tested and debugged electronics for fully autonomous soccer playing robots.

2025 to present

  • Redesigned the power distribution board featuring galvanic isolation between low-voltage (3.3Vā€“24V) and high-voltage (240V) domains, addressing safety, noise coupling, and creepage/clearance constraints
  • Designed motor driver circuitry using low-side MOSFET topology, including flyback protection and switching considerations under inductive loads
  • Developed multi-layer PCB layouts integrating power and communication buses (SPI, I2C, UART), with attention to grounding strategy, return paths, and signal integrity
  • Debugged SPI communication chain (Raspberry Pi ā†’ UI board ā†’ motor controllers) using oscilloscopes/logic analyzers, identifying and resolving noise and timing-related issues
  • Designed power delivery and decoupling strategies to maintain stable operation under dynamic motor loads
  • Iterated on hardware revisions based on real-world testing, improving reliability of communication and power systems
  • Developed firmware in C for an ESP32 to test and debug high voltage charging and autodischarge

Systems Engineering Intern (Reliability & Data Analysis)

Kruger Products , Vancouver, BC

Systems-level analysis of reliability and performance in complex industrial equipment.

Jan 2026 - May 2026

  • Analyzed production and downtime data to identify dominant failure modes and evaluate gaps between recorded maintenance activity and actual system reliability
  • Built structured workflows linking machine data, operator feedback, and maintenance records to enable more effective root-cause analysis across multiple electromechanical systems
  • Developed Python tooling to automate retrieval and organization of part and procurement data from SAP, improving traceability and reducing manual engineering effort
  • Interpreted electrical drawings and physical equipment to validate system documentation and support hardware-level audits (motors, drives, lubrication requirements)
