I’m Michael Christolin, an Electrical Engineer specializing in embedded systems, IoT, and human-centered devices. In FAU’s combined B.S./M.S. program, I design and deliver end-to-end prototypes—from MCU firmware and board bring-up to sensor fusion and lightweight UIs. Recent builds include a smart self-cleaning cat litter box (ESP32, load cell, PIR, servo rake, TFT/OLED UI), a secure smart door lock (keypad + ESP32-CAM + web control), a three-stage BJT audio amplifier validated on bench equipment, a low-latency BLE MIDI controller, and a Wi-Fi LED matrix sign with a real-time web interface.

I work primarily in C/C++ and Python, with MATLAB for analysis and VHDL/Verilog for digital logic. On the hardware side I prototype in KiCad/EasyEDA, verify in LTspice/ADS, and debug with oscilloscope, DMM, and function generator. Before engineering, I taught at the university level and led music programs—experience that shows up in clear documentation, cross-functional communication, and calm, methodical problem-solving. I care about shipping devices that are robust, well-tested, and a pleasure to use. I’m seeking roles where I can take ownership across firmware, hardware, and UX to bring connected products to life at scale. If that’s your team, let’s talk.
