Electronics engineer building local AI tools for industrial work.

Featured project

Local P&ID analyzer

Problem

Engineering documentation was manual. It took forever, and it kept our team from doing the engineering work we were actually there to do.

Solution

A local, automated P&ID analyzer for instrumentation engineers. It reads the drawing and writes the deliverables — running entirely on-premise.

An unannotated piping and instrumentation diagram dense with instrument bubbles and line work — **Before.** This is what the engineer opens. Every circle is an instrument, and each one gets read off the drawing and typed into a spreadsheet by hand — a full day per revision, redone every time a redline lands.

The same diagram with every instrument outlined and labeled by category — **After.** The same sheet, analyzed. Every instrument found and labeled automatically at roughly five minutes per page, running on its own.

A generated Excel instrument list with tag numbers, instrument types and equipment assignments — **And the deliverable.** The instrument list, generated in the format the team already uses — alongside the panel list, equipment header list, and tie-point list. The engineer's job is now to validate this, not to produce it.

It reads very dense drawings — and follows markup color codes

A very dense piping and instrumentation diagram of a meter skid and injection wells, marked up with redlines — **Input.** A far denser sheet, carrying redline markup.

The same dense diagram analyzed, with detections labeled and markup colors preserved — **Output.** Detections hold up, and the markup color convention is respected.

Other builds

Radiation test board

Senior capstone with Texas Instruments — designing and documenting a test head motherboard for radiation effects testing of semiconductors at the Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute.

Line-following robot

Three-wheeled autonomous robot. Steering control written in C on a TI LaunchPad, driving off line-detection sensors.

Cuffless blood pressure monitor

Measures blood pressure by pulse transit time instead of an inflating cuff. Instrumentation-amplifier front end to pull the signal out of the noise.

Yagi antenna

Designed and built a directional Yagi to pull in a local radio broadcast. Element spacing worked out by hand, then built and tested.

Distortion pedal

Analog guitar distortion pedal built from discrete passive and active components. No microcontroller anywhere in it.

Open to full-time roles
and local AI work

I graduate in May 2027 and I'm looking for full-time engineering work in my field — instrumentation, test engineering, embedded, and hardware. I also take on contract work building local AI systems like the analyzer above.
