Projects
Each project is a case study in problem-solving. I focus on design decisions, technical tradeoffs, and what I learned, not just what I built. These projects reflect how I approach systems, ambiguity, and real engineering constraints.
The projects here span academic work, applied engineering, and production systems. What ties them together is a focus on understanding problems deeply before jumping to solutions, making informed decisions about tradeoffs, and building systems that are maintainable and explainable. Some projects are polished and production-ready; others are explorations that helped me understand fundamental concepts. All of them represent real thinking about real problems.
When you click into a case study, you'll find detailed explanations of the problem context, the constraints I worked within, the design decisions I made, and what I learned along the way. My goal isn't to showcase perfect solutions: it's to demonstrate how I think through engineering challenges and make decisions when the path forward isn't obvious.
