About Me

Circuits, code, and hands-on engineering

I am a Computer Engineering student at Queen’s University with a strong interest in embedded systems, digital hardware, and robotics. I enjoy taking ideas from concept to reality through circuit design, firmware, and mechanical integration.

Experience with Raspberry Pi, ESP32, microcontrollers, and digital logic (Verilog/VHDL).
Hands-on work with Queen’s Formula SAE Racing Team on tractive systems and LV wiring.
Previous teaching experience at Code Ninjas, introducing students to robotics and coding.

I like projects where software, hardware, and real-world constraints intersect — whether that is a lunar greenhouse manipulator, a smart security camera, or restoring a minibike. I am always looking to learn more about embedded design, power electronics, and control.

Featured Projects

Engineering solutions from lunar robotics to AI systems
