Hi, I'm Christian, a Master's student in Computer Engineering at Binghamton University, graduating in May 2026.

My academic background is rooted in applied engineering. As a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers, I contributed to the development of an electric drive formula car by designing PCB fuse boards and managing high-voltage battery systems. This experience, combined with my Master’s research into custom wireless peripherals and firmware, has built a strong foundation in hardware and software integration.

Beyond academics, my professional work centers around software engineering, leveraging my development skills and automation tools like Ansible to manage critical infrastructure. Recently, I led an infrastructure modernization initiative, transitioning legacy logging software across 200+ servers to a more robust solution. This reduced log ingestion by 30% and improved performance for our customers.

As I approach graduation, I'm eager to bring my skills to a full-time role where I can continue to learn and grow as an engineer.
