About Me

I'm a Computer Engineering student at Georgia Tech specializing in digital design and hardware architecture. I work with Verilog and VHDL to build systems that matter—from cryptographic accelerators on AMD Xilinx FPGAs to custom RISC processors. Currently, I'm developing a hardware-accelerated XChaCha20 encryption module and contributing to SiliconJackets' SoC tapeout initiative.
