my story

hi! i'm yosef — an ece @ cornell engineering, builder, and aspiring software/hardware engineer. this summer, i'll be taking a lot of my time to learn more about programming (c/c++/linux os + cli), differential equations, and how to build with claude. i'm also working on building an fpga tech stack for bitcoin perpetual algorithm trading.

outside of my work and studies, i love lifting, running, bouldering, traveling, firefighting, listening to music, eating, and learning new things.

see a bit of my story below 😀
