About Me
I'm an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Waterloo currently in 1A, passionate about robotics, PCB design, and microcontroller programming. I'm drawn to startup environments because of the fast pace, direct learning, and meaningful responsibility.
My experiences outside the classroom have helped me develop teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills that I believe are valuable in any technical environment.
I enjoy collaborating with diverse groups, taking initiative, and approaching problems from multiple angles to create effective solutions.
