DOAN (JACKSON) NGUYEN

I am currently a junior at the University of California, Irvine, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with a strong interest in pursuing a career in electrical and embedded systems after graduation. I previously earned an Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in Engineering from Santa Ana College, where I built a strong foundation in electrical circuits, and programming. Before that, I studied Mechatronics at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, gaining early experience in coding and electronics. As I continue developing as an engineer, I am focused on expanding my technical knowledge, gaining hands-on experience, and building a strong professional network. I welcome connections, career advice, and opportunities related to electrical engineering and embedded systems
