About Me
Hello! I'm Paul—a first-generation Vietnamese American studying electrical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. I've always had a spark for building things, whether it's snapping together Legos and Gundams for the aesthetics or designing electrical engineering projects to automate the mundane tasks of everyday life.
Outside of engineering, I'm always looking to expand my horizons. I love trying street food from different cultures, discovering new music, and staying active outdoors. Ultimately, I just like staying curious—whether that's in engineering or everything else.
