I'm an engineer interested in applied AI/ML, embedded systems, and emerging robotics. I am currently based in Los Angeles pursuing my bachelor's in Biomedical Engineering and master's in Electrical Engineering at USC on scholarship.
I currently do research in the Biomedical Microsystems Lab with a publication pending. I lead a team at USC's medtech startup incubator. Currently, I am also building Boxa, a beatboxing app for all levels. Aside from that, I enjoy playing my violin, chess, soccer, beatboxing, and spending time with friends!
Reach out to me at gdestrad@usc.edu if you want to collaborate on something exciting!
