About
Who I am
I'm a Mechatronics Engineering student at Waterloo, building systems at the intersection of mechanical design, electronics, and software.
My work spans competitive robotics, autonomous systems, EV drivetrains, and AI tooling. Anywhere I can engineer something real and make it work.
I thrive in iterative, hands-on environments where I can design, test, and improve.

Projects
Things I've built
Card Analysis & Robotic Dispensing System ↗
Autonomous mechatronic system that shuffles, dispenses, and sorts playing cards. C++ control logic coordinating sensors and motors across multiple subsystems, with a tuned PID controller for accurate motor positioning. Modular architecture separates hardware control from high-level logic.
Robotics Club — SUMO Bot ↗
Vice President and builder. Designed competitive robots in SolidWorks and Fusion 360, C++ for control logic. Achieved 1st place at the McMaster SUMO Bot competition.
1st Place — McMaster
Game Development ↗
Designed and programmed multiple interactive games such as Wordle, Flappy Bird, and more in Java and C++. Handled collision detection, word validation, input handling, and runtime efficiency.
