Hello and welcome to my homepage. Currently, I am working at Intel Labs as an engineer. In the past, my work has covered test stand design, wear experiments, and the integration of component health algorithms. I received my B.Sc. from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2009 and M.Sc. degree from Oregon State in June 2011.
