I am a current fourth year undergraduate student at the University of California, Santa Barbara in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I was accepted into the accelerated five-year Masters program here at UC Santa Barbara and am beginning my graduate studies in Electrical Engineering as of Fall 2017. My expetected graduation dates for Bachelors and Masters are June 2018 and June 2019, respectively.
During the summer of 2017, I relocated to Seattle to work for Amazon as a Software Development Engineering Intern. It was at Amazon that I realized that I wanted to pursue a hardware-focused career. At this point in my life I am much more passionate and challenged by hardware engineering than I am being a software engineer. Therefore, my graduate studies at UC Santa Barbara are focused around Digital VLSI Design and Computer Architecture.
At this point I have secured an internship in Digital Hardware Engineering at Qualcomm for Summer 2018.
