About Me

I am a 3rd year Mechatronics Engineering Student at the University of Waterloo but I am also a 2 time founder with 5 internships completed and I am also a design team lead. I am passionate about robotics and mechatronics specifically because it is a multidisplinary field where I can use a mix of skills to come up with creative solutions to complex problems. I love to build, create, and I have a passion for entrepreneurship/startups.

I am currently looking for my 6th and final internship which will hopefully be in the field of actuator design, sensor design, or design/testing for novel systems. Please download my resume and/or take a look at my projects, businesses, and past internships below then reach out and lets talk about how we can change the world together!
