About

I’m Tessa — an Electrical & Computer Engineer focused on embedded systems, digital system design, FPGA/RTL Design, and VLSI. I’m currently in the MS ECE program at The University of Illinois at Chicago (Digital Systems / VLSI track) with an expected graduation date of Spring 2027.

In 2024, I earned my BS in ECE from The University of Texas at Austin where I specialized in computer architecture and embedded systems.

I like building reliable hardware-software systems, getting deep into debugging, and documenting what I learn.

Interests: firmware, RTL/FPGA, sensor systems, and design verification.
