I'm a Computer Engineering graduate from UC Riverside, born and raised in Riverside, CA. I'm currently a Software Engineer working on vehicle controls algorithms for General Motors.
I like tinkering with hardware and working on projects that revolve around embedded systems, operating systems, emulation, etc. I also like to spend time being able to reach out to younger, underrepresented peers who need guidance under the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers.
Working closely with a Chemical & Environmental engineering team from UC Riverside, I helped design and implement controls for the award-winning project. Using ATmega microcontrollers and other components, I created a user-interace which includes a mobile Bluetooth app to be able to actuate controls.
Implemented the Friends feature for a software engineering course project. The iOS application involved the use of Git for version control, Parse API for database integration, and several software engineering practices such as Extreme Programming and Synch & Stabilize.
Worked on implementation of the NMOS 6502 Processor replication on a C framework for the Altera Cyclone IV FPGA. Project includes utilization of real NES controllers, PPU (video for NES) to VGA conversion, and more.
