Hands-on by default
Computer Engineering Co-op Student — McMaster University
I take things apart to understand them, then build something better. Lately that means designing grippers, wiring motors, and writing the code that ties it together on robotics teams at McMaster.
I work across the whole stack — CAD one day, motor control and Python the next, then debugging why the build doesn't match the model. That gap, where the plan meets real hardware, is where I learn the most.
Part-time job alongside full-time studies, plus a commute. Time is the resource I plan around. Outside engineering: strength training, martial arts, gaming.
Academic background
IB diploma to Computer Engineering at McMaster.
Bachelor of Engineering, Computer Engineering
McMaster University · Co-op Program
Five-year Co-op stream. Core coursework in software, electronics, and systems design, plus team-based robotics projects.
International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma
St. Paul's · IB Diploma Programme Graduate
Full IB Diploma — sciences, math, and humanities, with the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge, and CAS. Two years of independent research that pointed me at engineering.
What I bring
Built across coursework and team robotics projects.
</> Software & Scripting
Python for hardware control and state handling — coordinate systems and functions a whole team can edit.
◧ CAD & Mechanical Design
Autodesk Inventor for end-effectors and mechanisms, iterated across prototype generations on test data.
⛭ Robotics & Controls
Quanser Q-arm — motor-driven grippers, coordinate-based motion, closed-loop testing against real-world uncertainty.
⬡ Rapid Prototyping
Prusa MK4S printing and hands-on fabrication — CAD model to testable hardware fast, then iterate on what fails.
⚡ Circuit Wiring
Motors, sensors, and controllers wired into working electromechanical systems.
☰ Project & Team Management
Test plans, decision matrices, and a team of five kept aligned on deadlines and trade-offs.
