Experience & education
I’m an electrical engineer based in South Carolina, with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Clemson University. I work on energy management systems at Santee Cooper and am interested in PCB design and FPGA/RTL roles.
My hardware background includes schematic and multilayer PCB layout in Altium, embedded interfaces, and microcontroller programming. I’m building on my digital-design coursework through Verilog and Vivado labs using the PYNQ-Z2 and Nexys A7-100T.
Experience
June 2025–present
Energy Management System Engineer
I contributed to a new EMS rollout through C development, Linux integration, Git deployments, and historian data migration.
- Ported C source from Windows to Linux and compiled it for the new environment.
- Deployed version-controlled changes across eight servers using Git, documented commit hashes, and supported teammates with display updates.
- Migrated more than 300 TB of historian data, imported metadata, and worked on database schemas.
- Supported system cutover, test planning and factory acceptance testing in Jama Connect, and telemetry and alarm integration.
January–May 2025
Laboratory Assistant · Senior Design II
I created Altium schematics and PCB layouts for assigned embedded hardware circuits: an LSM6DSOX IMU over SPI, a Micro-USB Type-B programming/debug interface with ESD protection, and a 44-pin expansion header.
Education
May 2025
B.S. Electrical Engineering
Clemson University
Engineer-in-Training; Fundamentals of Engineering exam passed.
Coursework included digital design, computer organization, microcontroller interfacing, signal processing, and communication systems.
Current study
My FPGA labs cover Verilog logic and memory designs, simulation testbenches, XDC pin constraints, and implementation in Vivado. Recent board work includes a multiplexer with switch inputs and LED output.
I’m also continuing Altium design and simulation work. My MixedSim exercise recreates a course circuit to compare component-tolerance effects. Related training is shown with my PCB work, circuit simulation, and FPGA labs.
Personal
I grew up in a small South Carolina town with my older brother and younger sister. My family has three dogs—Cookie, Tarzan, and Tobi—and a bull named Canelo.
