About
Software across the stack,
from embedded systems to AI.
I'm a Computer Science student at UNLV with a minor in Mathematics, currently interning at NASA Ames Research Center. My work spans computer vision, embedded systems, telemetry, full-stack development, and software for aerospace applications.
Real-time and embedded work across rocket engine test stands, high-altitude balloon payloads, and bare-metal firmware — code that has to be correct the first time it runs.
Full-stack products and AI systems — a RAG-powered retrieval platform with 6,300+ indexed documents, and production dispatch software running for a real business.
Computer vision and telemetry for real vehicles — 3D lunar terrain reconstruction at NASA Ames, drone fleet telemetry, and instrumentation for high-altitude payloads.
Experience
Where I've worked.
Software Engineering Intern
NASA Ames Research Center
Computer vision and 3D stereo reconstruction for NASA's Celestial Mapping System, generating high-fidelity lunar terrain models from recent mission data for 3D mapping, visualization, and lunar mission planning.
Engine Systems Software Engineer
SEDS UNLV
Integrated embedded sensor data with a Python ingestion layer into Synnax for real-time telemetry visualization during engine testing.
Chief Technology Officer & Lead Software Engineer
Rebel Bot Ai
Led development of an AI-powered information retrieval system using RAG architecture with 6,300+ indexed documents, enabling natural language access to university-wide resources. Won 2nd Place and $10,000 at the UNLV President's Innovation Challenge.
Embedded Software Engineer
RebelSat UNLV
Developed embedded test programs for high-altitude 80,000 ft balloon payloads, validating onboard sensor and communication reliability.
Lead Software Engineer
Prime Care Medical Transportation
Designing a role-based, multi-tenant dispatch system handling concurrent ride scheduling under regulatory constraints, optimizing request latency and data isolation.
Software Developer
Independent Contractor
Engineered full-stack web applications using Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and AWS for startups and local businesses, including e-commerce systems and nonprofit organizations.
Projects
What I've built.
Fleet Telemetry System
Drone fleet telemetry platform with a C++ simulator for 100 autonomous drones, FastAPI ingestion backend, and React + Leaflet dashboard for live position, battery, state, and route visualization.
Mini Cortex-M RTOS Kernel
Early-stage custom RTOS kernel for ARM Cortex-M3, built for QEMU on the lm3s6965evb board with bare-metal C, a custom linker script, and Make-based firmware builds.
Flight Data Logger
