About Me

I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Michigan (4.0 GPA, Martin & Ellen Chavez Scholarship Winner, Dean's List) passionate about building systems at the intersection of hardware, software, and autonomy. Born in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and raised in Maryland, I carry a perspective shaped by two cultures and a drive to create meaningful impact through engineering.

I founded U-M Vertical Flight, a multidisciplinary team designing and building eVTOL aircraft for Vertical Flight Society competitions—search-and-rescue, surveillance, and urban air mobility missions. As Electrical Lead, I design power distribution, flight controller integration, and sensor suites including LiDAR and thermal imaging for autonomous operations.

At U-M's Magnetometer Laboratory, I'm co-authoring a research publication on Random Forest ML models for geomagnetic storm prediction, analyzing 10+ years of magnetometer data. I'm also collaborating with Curtis Ling (MaxLinear founder & CTO) on GoFundMI.org, a non-profit platform connecting student researchers directly to funding.

I believe in building solutions that are technically rigorous, well-designed, and serve real needs. Whether it's calibrating flight hardware, training ML models on space weather data, or engineering financial analytics tools, I bring precision and purpose to every project.
