About me

I study Electrical Engineering at Waterloo. I focus on robotics, PCB design, and microcontroller programming—and I'm drawn to environments where the pace is fast and the work has real impact.

Outside class I've built teamwork and leadership through coaching basketball, running STEM club (50+ students), and FIRST Robotics—and I'm used to debugging until things work.

I work well with diverse teams and prefer iterating on solutions until we get it right.
