About

Who I am

I'm a Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, passionate about building systems at the intersection of mechanical design, electronics, and software.

My work spans competitive robotics, autonomous machines, formula electric 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, break, and improve.

Not many people scroll this far. Here's a little easter egg for ya!

Origin #1 — The Computer
My love for computers and technology started at the age of 11 when I had to fix a CD drive in our family computer. That one repair opened a door I never closed.
Origin #2 — The Car
My love for cars started at the age of 4 when I first saw the release of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 finished in Arancio Argos — circa 2011. That orange has never left me.
