Career & Goals
My long-term aim is to grow as a more innovative and impactful problem solver. Pursuing Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech has opened up new opportunities to constantly learn new and advanced technologies. I am interested in specializing in silicon engineering and chip design.
Aspirations
EE is a wide field, and I want to explore multiple areas before narrowing in. That said, the direction I'm most drawn to is chip design: understanding how transistors, analog circuits, and digital logic are physically realized on chip.
To build toward that, I'm taking choosing to concentrate in Electronic Devices and Circuit Technology during my tenure at Georgia Tech. Certain classes I'm especially excited to take are VLSI and Advanced Digital System Design (ECE 3150), VLSI Design - Theory to Tapeout (ECE 4804), and Architecture, Systems, Concurrency and Energy in Consumption (ECE 3058). I also plan to pursue a minor in Computer Science, since understanding the software and architectural layer that silicon serves makes me a stronger hardware engineer. The supercapacitor IC project I'm currently on is the most direct hands-on exposure I have to IC design so far, and I intend to keep threading in that direction.
Longer term, I want to be someone hardware and systems teams can rely on: fluent in both the physical design of components and the software demands of the application. To get there, I'm focused on gaining as much meaningful experience as possible before graduating: through clubs like Silicon Jackets, peer instructing at the Hive Makerspace, and undergraduate research.
I'm currently seeking summer 2027 internships in hardware, embedded systems, or software engineering. Hands-on industry experience is a priority for me heading into post-grad work, and I'm also interested in eventually pursuing a master's in Electrical Engineering.

About Me
Hi I'm Carter, an Electrical Engineering student at Georgia Tech with a passion for building cool things and learning new technologies. At Georgia Tech, I'm involved with numerous clubs and organizations. Some of my most meaningful commitments are my projects at HyTech Racing (GT's own electric racecar team), training staffers as an Advanced Prototyping Technical Operator at the Materials Innovation Learning Laboratory, or designing an autonomous testing system for supercapacitors on a NASA balloon mission on my Vertically Integrated Projects team.
When I'm not working on classes or projects, you can find me at GT's community recreation center training to one day bench 300 pounds, outside on the Atlanta beltline running, or playing ping pong with my friends. In highschool, I was heavily commited to cross country and track running, which taught me the discipline and initiative needed to succeed in my goals. To this day, I still push myself to accomplish something new everyday, or just becoming better at something I do.
Feel free to reach out to me below if you have any questions or would like to collaborate! I am also currently seeking a 2027 summer internship in the embedded systems, software, or hardware engineering field.
