ABOUT ME

I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Toronto with experience in sustainable energy systems, robotics design, and strategic consulting. My technical background spans Python, MATLAB, SolidWorks, and FEA simulation, which I use to address complex engineering problems. I have designed solar microgrids, optimized rover suspension systems, and built custom FPV drones. Through consulting work with P&G and the University of Toronto Sustainability Office, I strengthened my ability to convert technical analysis into clear, actionable recommendations.


Building on this foundation, I am directing my career toward mechatronics and robotic systems design, where mechanical engineering intersects with controls, electronics, and integrated system architecture. The projects in this portfolio—a custom FPV drone, a 6-DoF camera motion-control robot, and a 16:1 reduction gearbox—reflect my progression from fundamental mechanism design to advanced electromechanical platforms. Together, they demonstrate strong capability in CAD, simulation, and prototyping, as well as the ability to engineer reliable, high-performance robotic systems. These works align with my goal of advancing in robotics engineering, autonomous systems, and precision mechatronic device development.
