About

I am a person who enjoys learning more, challenging myself and working hard. I am a University of Calgary student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, with a minor in computer engineering. From this I have gain an interest in embedded systems, control systems and communication systems. My current project includes leading the electrical team at WayBionic in integrating electrical components together, designing PCBs and developing the power system for the project. In the future, I hope to gain work experience to apply my knowledge and technical skills that I have developed.
