What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to apply hands-on design, programming, and project-building experience while growing in mechatronics engineering.

I co-founded A.Y. Jackson Secondary School's aeronautics team, growing it to 150+ students while designing SketchUp models and AutoCAD frameworks for four hands-on aircraft projects.

I led 48 weekly lessons, managed 100+ club operations, and researched 20+ project frameworks for remote-controlled aircraft builds using foamboard, servos, and transmitters/receivers.

I've also implemented a digital inventory tracker for 10,000+ materials, built 20+ portfolio-stage websites for small businesses, and am pursuing Honours Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo.
