About Me

I study Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo, where I learn the firmware, electrical, and mechanical sides of engineering. The strength of Trons lies in our range: we see the system as a whole, not just a chunk of it. 💪

I'm on my 2nd co-op at Loadlink Technologies as a software engineering intern, working on the company's freight-matching software. In my first term, I helped build its new React Native mobile app. This term, I went full stack, making features across the Angular website, React Native app, C# APIs, and T-SQL databases.

On the side, I'm on the electrical team at the Waterloo Aerial Robotics Group (WARG). I completed its electrical bootcamp by designing a 2-layer LDO regulator board in Altium Designer, and I look forward to contributing more.

I also tutor computer science online to small groups and one-on-one students, from middle school Java basics to CCC and USACO contest prep, Git, and web development.

I'm also looking for co-op opportunities for Summer 2027 in firmware, embedded, robotics, or software, so if your team has a spot, I'd love to hear from you.
