About Me

My Personal Background

My journey toward a career in technology began with an early interest in computers, but I didn't have a clear idea of where it could lead until my senior year of high school. During a college planning session, I explored potential majors at the nearby community college, knowing I wanted to work with computers. A counselor walked me through the options, and while Computer Science initially caught my attention, I was immediately drawn to Computer Engineering once I heard about it. I liked the idea of earning an “Engineer” title and contributing to both hardware and software innovation, so I chose it as my major.

After high school, I attended Reedley College, where I deepened my technical foundation by earning Associate degrees in Physics, Math, Computer Science, and Engineering before transferring to the University of California, Riverside. As I progressed, I discovered the possibilities within computer engineering that went beyond software alone—embedded systems, automation, and the potential for real-world applications that could improve daily life.

My studies introduced me to embedded engineering courses and a senior design project, which gave me firsthand experience in creating and troubleshooting systems. This opened my eyes to the endless potential for improvement all around us; I began to see inefficiencies everywhere that could be streamlined with the right programs or systems. What truly drew me to embedded systems was the combination of software and hardware, often specialized, working together to solve complex problems.

Since graduating, I've held roles in various industries, mostly outside of computer engineering, yet each one has given me opportunities to apply my technical insights. Even in unrelated fields, I've found ways to automate processes and introduce efficiencies, drawing on the problem-solving mindset I developed through my studies.

This path has led me to my current role, where I may not be building circuits or working with embedded systems, but I am creating impactful automations that streamline essential processes. My drive to improve workflows and eliminate inefficiencies has remained central to my work, and I'm excited to continue developing solutions that make a meaningful difference.

My Professional Summary

Throughout my career, I've been dedicated to finding innovative solutions that combine technical expertise with a focus on efficiency and automation. Currently, in my work with State Reporting and Forms Development, I handle projects that help healthcare providers manage and submit essential data. My efforts also extend into developing automation systems that streamline workflows. One example is the Fresh Service automation I created to manage overdue tickets more efficiently. In addition, I'm working on projects like a first ticket response system designed to maintain SLA compliance and an automated pending review process that gives requesters multiple opportunities to review their completed requests before a timeout limit triggers ticket closure.

At NCompEng Technologies, I offer a range of services, including second life resale through consignment, computer and device repair, paper printing, tax preparation, and handyman services. While I'm in the process of expanding into custom software development, I've already combined custom code and AI to build this very website.

Looking ahead, my primary focus is pushing automation forward, particularly through embedded systems and devices. Whether it's optimizing vehicular safety or designing automation for various industries, my goal is to create systems that save lives, enhance safety, and improve efficiency across multiple sectors. I'm excited about the role automation will play in shaping the future and committed to leading these changes through my work.
