Engineer by trade.
Builder by instinct.
I work on hybrid, electric, and fuel cell powertrains, turning system behavior into control logic, tests, and calibration decisions. Away from work, I like long drives, new cities, and trips that start as a half-formed idea.

What a cross-country EV road trip in winter actually teaches you about range, planning, and trust in the machine.
A practical intro to fuel cell powertrain architecture
Breaking down what's actually different about FCEV systems versus BEV — from a controls perspective.
Why I use Python to sanity-check my Simulink models
A lightweight approach to scripting test harnesses around control models without leaving the terminal.
Travel is the other way I learn systems.
Road trips, new cities, long flights, and the occasional EV charging lesson in the middle of nowhere.
