About Me

I'm Aidan
Systems Engineer

Based in Athens, GA

I'm a Computer Systems Engineering student at the University of Georgia, graduating May 2027. I work where hardware meets software: embedded systems, PCB design, FPGAs, and the code that runs on them.

I'm looking for roles in SOC analysis, systems integration, or anywhere physics and hardware meet computing. Outside of class I lead hardware on my capstone, do accessibility research in the ACCESS Lab, and teach physics and circuits.

Capstone · PCB Design

ModμMIDI² Ongoing

An open-source modular semitonal MIDI controller for the UGA School of Music. I lead prototyping and PCB design, including a banked key system with adjustable octave width and layouts.

Sensors · Web App

Automatic Cat Feeder

A three-sensor device that dispenses food on programmable intervals and monitors water turbidity and level, with a web app for remote control and data over a VPN.

Hackathon · Python

Bach: Music Generator

Built at DawgHack 2025. Composes multi-instrument MIDI pieces with no ML: a Markov chain picks chord progressions, modal rotation sets the mood, and layered rhythms build the arrangement.
