Hi, I'm Diego Rosales

Electrical Engineering @ UC San Diego · Software Engineer

About Me

I'm an Electrical Engineering student at UC San Diego with a depth in Machine Learning & Controls. I write software that works with real hardware: sensor data pipelines at Ormco, an Android flight-control app that helped my team place 1st in the U.S. at the California UAS Competition, and autonomous control code for VEX U robotics.

Outside of class, I'm president of the Math Club, a member of the Unmanned Aircraft System and robotics teams, and a track and field athlete.
