I'm a software engineering intern at Microsoft working on the brand new Surface Duo folding phone. Last year, I did a 9-month co-op at Apple as a hardware engineer on the Apple TV. From San Francisco, CA. Junior (?) at Cal Poly SLO studying electrical engineering.
suild.com: Website to sell PCB-based electronics products for Nerf blasters, host interactive web applications, and offer technical documentation. 30,000+ annual sessions, MERN stack.
montychoy.com: My personal website. Check out that dope home image. I overhaul the site every year for internship application season.
Select-Fire Rapidstrike Kit: PCB-based product to enable select-fire control in a Nerf blaster. Features ATmega328P MCU, DC-DC converter, & PID controlled inductive load powered by a high-discharge LiPo battery. 300+ sold to 10+ countries.
Flywheel Setup Picker: Basically Reddit for motorized Nerf blasters.

More stuff about me
- Just reading up. Doing stuff is super complicated.
- After modeling microarchitecture + ISA + MCU to implement RISC-V ISA, I don't really like HDL/RTL stuff, but I'm still super interested in how everything works.
- Worked with Apple A-core SoCs and Qualcomm Snapdragon platform on Surface Duo.
As my mentor said:
That shit is super complicated man
- Designing my own buck converter. Starting with just simulations to analyze ideal open-loop steady-state behavior.
- Haven't taken signals & systems class, don't know jack about controls (if you're an interviewer reading this, ask me about literally anything else).
- Plan on designing buck converter PCB. Will use IC to handle controls, but everything else (FETs, caps, inductor, feedback network) will be discretes.
- DC-DC lead on a project at Apple, worked on Apple's custom PMUs and multiphase bucks.
Me (freshman after being asked this in an interview):
What's stability in a buck converter?
Taufik (power electronics professor):
HAHAHA I can't tell you until you're in third year
