01 — About
Engineer across the full stack of hardware & software
I'm a final-year Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, graduating in May 2026. Over four co-op terms I've shipped work at Tesla, Motorola Solutions, Neutron Controls, and Accelerated Systems Inc. — spanning industrial controls, embedded firmware, cybersecurity tooling, and PCB hardware design.
My sweet spot is taking a system from model to firmware to bring-up: tuning control loops in MATLAB/Simulink, writing the embedded C/C++ that runs them, designing the boards in Altium, and building the software that monitors it all. I like hard, multidisciplinary problems — self-balancing robots, CPU–FPGA co-design, power electronics, real-time telemetry, and AI tooling.
Embedded Systems
Firmware in C/C++ on microcontrollers, with SPI / I²C / UART and tight sensor integration.
Power Electronics
Buck/boost converters, H-bridge motor drivers, BMS, and multi-layer PCB design.
Robotics & Automation
Mechatronic platforms, robotic arms, motion control, and inverse kinematics.
Software & ML
Python tooling, OpenCV vision, RAG/LLM assistants, and quantitative C++.
Industrial Controls
SCADA/Ignition, Siemens TIA Portal PLCs, HMIs, and Grafana/InfluxDB telemetry.

Where I've worked
-
Controls Engineering Intern
May 2025 – Aug 2025Tesla · San Diego, CA
- Built a custom HMI and a Python TCP/IP data-transmission system enabling remote label printing across the Tesla network, streamlining manufacturing operations.
- Programmed PLCs in Siemens TIA Portal V18 to process real-time sensor data, visualizing heat-exchange rate and torque % on Grafana dashboards.
- Redesigned the recipe editor with torque calculation, sliding-window avg/max/min analysis on live data, and an integrated alarm system.
