About Me

I'm a passionate, engineering student who aims to bridge the gap between design and technology. I create solutions from just thoughts on a paper, striving for excellence.

With a focus on interaction design and performance, I deliver solutions that are not only functional but also challenge norms.

CAD
Designing precise 3D mechanical components in SolidWorks with consideration for manufacturing and real-world constraints.
Embedded Systems
Building hardware-integrated systems using microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi for automation and control.
Mechanical Fabrication
Manufacturing and modifying physical components using hand and power tools with attention to fit, function, and safety.
Programming
Developing software using languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and occasionally R.
UBC Mascot Heist

That time we "borrowed" the UBC engineering mascot at a conference (totally legal).

Brain Dump

Drag the notes around!

Today

Quantum State

My GPA is currently in a superposition. It is both good and bad until I actually check the portal.

3 AM

AGI Thoughts

If AI takes our jobs, can it at least take my Calculus II midterm first? Asking for a friend.

Urgent

Eng Life

Sleep schedule is currently O(n!) where n is the number of assignments due tomorrow.

Idea

Smart Toaster?

An AI toaster that refuses to toast bread if it detects you're sad. "You need a salad, Dave."

Lab Update

Robotics Startup

With AI taking the world by storm, how can I take advantage of it to help start my robotics startup?
