Based in Boulder, CO · Electrical Engineering · Building things until they actually work
I draw the schematic, lay out the board, write the firmware that runs on it, and then debug all three at once with a scope probe in one hand at 1am. 🔍
The best moment in any project is convergence: a custom board and a tight firmware loop finally behaving exactly the way the spec promised. I chase that feeling relentlessly, which is why tests, traces, and reproducible builds go into my projects as design features rather than paperwork tacked on at the end. ✅

Learn a language by reading real books. Import an epub and click any word for its dictionary entry and a piece-by-piece conjugation breakdown. One keypress later it is in FSRS spaced repetition, anchored to the exact sentence where you met it. Offline-first, one binary plus SQLite, released for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Rust.
Ferrite 🧮
A trace-driven CPU microarchitecture simulator where components talk only through typed, backpressured ports and whole systems assemble from a config file instead of a recompile. Two runs of the same config must be byte-identical, and a golden test enforces it. Rust.
A from-scratch 8-bit CPU in SystemVerilog: datapath, register file, ALU, FSM control unit, memory-mapped I/O. The kind of project you build once and think about forever.
