Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Mechatronics engineering student at the University of Waterloo (Class of 2026) with 6 co-op terms across hardware design, power electronics, embedded AI, and quantum computing hardware. I've shipped real hardware across diverse domains — from GaN FET characterization at Transphorm to optical network board design at Ciena, edge AI accelerator work at Blumind, and ion-trap quantum processor testing at the Institute for Quantum Computing. My upcoming term at Siemens Energy focuses on hardware quality in the energy sector. Core skills: PCB design & layout · Power electronics (GaN, SiC) · Embedded systems (C/C++, RTOS) · FPGA/hardware validation · Signal integrity · CAD (SolidWorks, Altium) · Python · CAN bus & automotive protocols Open to new grad full-time roles in hardware design, hardware test, or embedded systems engineering — particularly in energy, semiconductors, automotive, or deep tech.
