Electrical & Computer Engineering • University of Toronto
THE PROFILE
I'm an ECE student at the University of Toronto with a focus on hardware engineering and embedded systems. I believe in building things that actually work — not just in theory, but in the real world where components fail, sensors drift, and timing matters.
My approach combines hands-on hardware skills with software development. I'm equally comfortable debugging circuit boards with an oscilloscope as I am writing C code for microcontrollers.
Currently exploring the intersection of engineering and healthcare — interested in how technology can solve real problems in medical devices and health systems.
WHAT DRIVES ME
- Practical Problem-Solving: Finding elegant solutions to real constraints
- Full-Stack Hardware: From schematic to PCB to firmware to enclosure
- Continuous Learning: Always adding new tools to the toolkit
- Building to Last: Quality engineering that holds up over time
