Hi, I'm Orion - A CpE student focused on low-level computer systems

Across all of my experiences, I've built the perspective that drives my goals today. Now, I focus on embedded and systems software in C and C++.

Education

University of Central Florida

University of Central Florida

August 2023Present

BS in Computer Engineering - GPA: 4.0

Orlando, Florida

UCF's technical coursework has been transformative, giving me context and depth while directly complementing my projects, roles, and personal growth.

Relevant Courses

OS Design Principles This course deepened my OS intuition. For the final project, I built a Linux kernel module that measures syscall latency under varying system loads.

Computer Architecture This course built my intuition for how processors are designed, moving from RISC-V programs to a sequence of projects that ultimately formed a complete pipelined CPU.

Embedded Systems This course focused on low-level programming with timers, interrupts, communication protocols, and a lab that brought it all together on a TI microcontroller.

Test Engineer - CWEP

January 2025 - August 2025

Orlando, Florida

Technologies

• Established console/network access across embedded modules, leveraging serial and TM logs to execute target ATPs

• Stabilized numerous embedded baselines by diagnosing bootloader and RTOS parameter faults across internal modules, increasing bring-up consistency and reducing reprogramming failures

• Replaced error-prone manual reconciliation with a scripted workflow that unified distributed asset and inventory data, reducing manual effort by ~50%
