Chemical Engineering Student & Operations Lead

I'm a chemical engineering student at the University of Waterloo with hands-on experience in high-pressure systems design, propulsion testing, and laboratory operations. As Operations Lead at Waterloo Rocketry, I develop P&IDs for complex systems and coordinate large-scale test campaigns. My technical foundation spans CAD design, fluid systems analysis, and programming, with proven ability to optimize designs for performance and safety while managing cross-functional teams.
