Mechatronics & Robotics Engineering Undergraduate @ Queen's University

Professionally.
I'm a mechatronics engineering undergraduate @ Queen's University with experience across climate tech, robotics, and neurotech. My best work is done when I'm taking new ideas from 0-1, or working on interesting problems.
Currently, I'm an engineering intern at MDA Space working with the Guidance, Navigation and Controls group. With this internship, my goal is to learn control theory and robotic design through the unique challenges presented in space tech.
Past Works:
- Cofounder @ Qlean - built the premier climate engineering design club at Queen's University, bringing 40+ engineering students together to build engineering solutions to climate change
- Assistant Course Developer @ Queen's University - Created and redesigned instructional resources adopted by 300+ students per term
- Assistant AI Instructor @ SureStart - Launched the inaugural Slingshot Academy: AI Labs at Branksome Hall, designing and delivering curriculum on Generative AI for students with no prior coding experience
- R&D Intern @ Muse - Helped launch a consumer neurofeedback product, increasing sleep quality for 200k+ users by 20%
- Spoke at several conferences around the world, most notably Collision and ETHAmsterdam
On my nights and weekends, I write personal essays on my Substack, and articles about tech & startups. Here's a sample of my writing that I'm proud of:
- I saw a glimpse of the future of education with GenAI, and I hate it
- A letter to 2024
- Understanding DAC's Pathways to Profitability
Technologies I've worked with: Python, C/C++, JavaScript, React, Arduino, SolidWorks, LTSpice, Figma
Personally!
I spend my free time listening to music, training in Muay Thai, baking cheesecakes, taking photos, seeing friends, and reading.
In the past 6 months, I started my 3rd year at university, learned how to skateboard, and started playing the harmonica.
