I build things at the edge of hardware and software, where a bug in your firmware has physical consequences and getting it right actually matters.

about me

who I am

I'm a Mechatronics Engineering student at Toronto Metropolitan University, transferred from Computer Engineering because I kept being more interested in the hardware side of everything. That intersection of electronics, firmware, and physical systems is where I want to live.

On the technical side I've been building with embedded C++ firmware, working with sensor integration, real-time control loops, FreeRTOS, and writing tests that actually catch things before they break in the real world.

Outside of engineering, I've spent a few years doing real work in clinical data management, youth programs, and community operations. I'm not precious about what kind of problem I'm solving — I just want to solve it well.

RTOS Task Scheduler

Three-task FreeRTOS system in C. SensorTask feeds a typed queue every 500ms, ControlTask applies threshold logic and fires a binary semaphore when temp goes critical, DisplayTask renders live output. Runs on Linux via POSIX simulation — port to STM32 is three HAL function swaps.

Heat Management System
group project · MTE301 · fall 2025

Closed-loop thermal control on Arduino Uno. TMP36 ADC sensing, PMOS-driven PWM fan, 16×2 LCD and 80-LED NeoPixel strip. The interesting bug was the inverted PWM logic from the PMOS high-side driver — caught it in Tinkercad before it hit hardware.

DC Circuit Analyzer

Solo C++17 tool that applies Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Laws to series and parallel circuits. Computes resistance, branch currents, voltage drops, and power — then verifies the result against KVL/KCL automatically. Started as a way to stop doing this by hand in physics lab.

Smart Parking Assistant
high school capstone · jun 2024

Proximity-feedback parking system — 95% detection accuracy from 5 to 100cm, sub-50ms feedback loop. Ran 10+ edge-case scenarios and got reliability from 65% to 88%. First project where I really understood what testing is actually for.
