Hello, I'm Miguel 👋

Electrical and Computer Engineer at Carnegie Mellon

Grey metallic flower shaped object

M.S. ECE engineer at Carnegie Mellon specializing in embedded systems, PCB design, and firmware development. Currently at Ford Motor Company.

About

At Ford, I improved electric vehicle power delivery and led a cross-functional hardware audit. I've built an RF power tuner for semiconductor fabrication, mentored embedded systems students, and engineered projects from an autonomous trash collection robot to a real-time kernel.
