Experience

An engineering path shaped by electronics, data, and experimentation.

The timeline behind my current work in RF catheter systems and research-focused machine learning.

01
Jan 2025 - Present

SIGT LLC

Systems Engineer, Cardiac Catheter R&D

  • Design catheter electrodes and related assemblies in Ansys HFSS and evaluate electromagnetic behavior before designs are released for manufacturing.
  • Use vector network analyzer measurements and S-parameters to characterize RF response across catheter configurations, input powers, and frequencies.
  • Design and apply ninth-order low-pass filters while integrating VNA, oscilloscope, catheter telemetry, and experimental metadata for analysis.
  • Investigate relationships among RF response, cardiac-tissue lesion depth, and microbubble formation using Python, SQL, statistical analysis, and predictive modeling.
02
Sep 2021 - Jan 2023

Cognizant Technology Solutions

Data Engineer & Salesforce Developer

  • Developed Salesforce, Apex, SOQL, SQL, Snowflake, ETL, data-modeling, and reporting workflows for financial and loan-management processes.
  • Implemented validation, access controls, audit-oriented data practices, dashboards, and CI/CD-supported releases in cross-functional Agile environments.
  • Translated operational requirements into data models, automated workflows, analytical queries, and stakeholder-facing reports.
03
May 2019 - May 2021

Cisco Networking Academy-oriented Program

Network Engineering Trainee / Internship

  • Completed Packet Tracer-based routing and switching exercises covering OSI, TCP/IP, and CCNA-oriented networking concepts.
  • Applied network telemetry, SQL, ETL, and dashboarding to operational monitoring and performance-analysis exercises.
