Ben Girdwood

I am a Mechatronic Systems Engineering student at Western University with proven expertise in hardware design and embedded programming. Through co-op experiences at Taymer International, I designed custom PCBs that reduced assembly time by 2 hours per system and programmed embedded solutions that cut costs by over $100 per unit. I combine mechanical design skills in CAD and 3D printing with electrical engineering capabilities in circuit design and testing. My technical foundation spans C++, Python, Java, and hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and soldering. I am passionate about creating integrated hardware-software solutions that improve efficiency and reduce costs.
