Transfer Announcement

Over the last few months, I’ve taken a hard look at where I am, where I’m heading, and what systems I need around me to get there. After a lot of thinking, planning, and conversations with advisors, I’ve made a major academic decision:

I am officially transferring to UMass Lowell, beginning January 2025.

Why UML?

UMass Lowell offers something extremely aligned with how I operate:
applied engineering, strong labs, ABET programs, hands-on systems thinking, and an environment that rewards initiative.

In short, it accelerates what I was already building.

Academic Direction

My core pathway moving forward focuses on:

• Industrial Engineering (ABET)
  Grounded, applied engineering with clear licensure pathways (FE → PE).
• Systems Engineering
  Long-term goal: operations, engineering leadership, and large-scale systems design.

I’m bringing WPI credits + AP credit to aggressively accelerate the degree timeline and open space for internships, consulting, and large engineering projects.

What This Move Means for My Projects

This transfer is not a reset.
It’s a scaling event.

New Opportunities at UML:

• Stronger access to applied labs (EE, embedded, RF, manufacturing)
• EET-style hands-on experience to power real systems engineering
• Better alignment for telecom career growth while studying
• A smoother runway for PE licensure and MS in Systems Engineering

Why Now?

Because trajectory matters more than tradition.

I’m not interested in drifting through a degree. I want an environment where initiative = results, where I can build, study, work, and accelerate without friction. UML fits that operational model.

This is the right move at the right time.

What’s Next

In January, I start fresh with momentum, clarity, and a more optimized academic/industry strategy. Expect updates as I:

• Build out my engineering track at UML

If you’ve been following my trajectory, this is simply the next logical step.
A better system for a bigger vision.
