Systems thinking, applied broadly.

I like engineering work where the model matters: translating a standard into software, tracing a performance problem through a large system, or finding the representation that makes a difficult problem manageable. At Siemens, that has meant building and improving shipped Tessent EDA software in C++, with an emphasis on reliable behavior, careful testing, and practical systems problem solving.

I studied electrical engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a minor in computer science. That mix still shapes how I work. I move comfortably between hardware concepts, software architecture, and product details, and I apply the same foundation to the AI and agentic products I build outside my day-to-day systems work.
