I am an Engineer at Qualcomm in San Diego. I work in the Tizen Root team, where my job is to help enable the Tizen OS on some of Qualcomm's chips. My favourite part of my current role is that it exposes me to a very wide range of technical areas, rather than focusing on a specific field.

Besides work, I try to take up side projects that I can learn from. Check out the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) tester, "Cute", I created! I'm currently playing around with Arduino Yun and Raspberry Pi. I love networking with people and organizing events. I founded the student-run annual technical conference of the ECE department at UIUC, ECE Pulse, which is still going strong! I also host professional and educational events for new grad hires at Qualcomm, as a member of the U2Q (University to Qualcomm) board.

I am a proud alumna of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign!
