About

Hi there! I am a 3A Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I have a strong passion for robotics, circuits and electronics, and computer vision.

In the past, I have been the Autonomy Project Manager on the Waterloo Aerial Robotics Group (WARG), a student design team at the forefront of autonomous drone technology.

I have worked on a variety of projects ranging from embedded projects using microcontrollers such as STM32, to videos games using Unreal Engine. You can see some of my other projects in the projects section.

I am seeking a co-op (internship) for 4 months starting May 2026.

Hardware

I have worked on many embedded projects, for example a robotic arm that mimics a user's arm gestures with the aim of helping people with disabilities, and a mini quadcopter that uses my own custom PCB.

Software

I have also worked on many software-related projects, for instance a messaging app using React Native and Firebase, and a boat racing video game with networking and multiplayer logic combined with realistic physics.

Academics

The relevant courses I have taken include: Algorithms and Data Structures, Digital Logic, Circuits, RTOS, and Sensors and Instrumentation.
