About

I am an electrical engineer specializing in consumer electronics, wearable sensing, and hardware system architecture. My experience spans sensor integration, analog and mixed-signal design, power electronics, wireless charging, electromagnetics, device physics, optics, and end-to-end product development. I currently work at OpenAI on next-generation intelligent hardware. Previously, I spent over nine years at Apple developing hardware technologies for Apple Watch. Earlier in my career, I contributed to several Microsoft programs including HoloLens, Surface Hub, and Microsoft Band. My work bridges product development, research, and invention. I hold patents and publications in wearable sensing, temperature measurement, physiological monitoring, and related device architectures. I am particularly interested in building technologies that combine deep engineering with meaningful human impact. I hold SB and MEng degrees in EECS from MIT. During my time at MIT, I was a semifinalist in the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition and a Denso Undergraduate Research and Innovation Scholar.
