Journey

Milestones that shaped my path from first lines of code to embedded systems

Spring 2022

First Steps in Coding

Discovered web development, learned the essentials of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and created my first website

Summer 2022

Arduino Exploration

Built automation-ready prototypes by combining digital and analog I/O (LED arrays with resistors, push-buttons), environmental sensing (DHT temp/humidity, LDR), DC motor drivers and servo actuation, and LCD + keypad user interfaces—wired on breadboards and programmed/debugged on Arduino.

2023 - 2024

KU Leuven Engineering Technology

Strengthened foundations in electronics, physics, and programming while collaborating on multidisciplinary projects.

Fall 2024 - Present

CTU FEL Studies

Pursuing a Bachelor in Electrical Engineering at Czech Technical University, focusing on embedded systems and hardware integration.

Profile

Completed first and second semesters at the Czech Technical University in Prague, progressing to the third. Hands-on experience spans physics laboratories, precision measurement tools, and data analysis. Coursework includes Discrete Math, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Programming in Python, Physics, Matlab/Wolfram Development, and Differential Equations.

Since 2022 I have independently delivered multiple Arduino and embedded systems projects, demonstrating an enduring passion for electronics, rapid prototyping, and problem solving.
