Third-year mechatronics student at TMU, building at the intersection of mechanical design, embedded electronics, and the software that controls them.
A little bit of everything, on purpose
I'm going into my third year of Mechatronics Engineering at TMU, which means I get to be a little bit mechanical engineer, a little bit electrical engineer, and a little bit software developer — and I like it that way.
I'm drawn to projects where a physical system needs to be sensed, controlled, and reasoned about: robotics, automation, and the embedded systems underneath them. Outside coursework, I like taking things apart to understand how they work, then rebuilding them better.
Right now I'm looking for opportunities to apply what I'm learning to real hardware — a co-op, a research project, or something I'm building on my own.
Coursework, term by term
Where the hands-on work happens
Robotics / Hardware Intern
Swap this for your first co-op or internship once you land one — testing, embedded firmware, or hardware validation work fits well here.
Mechatronics Engineering
Coursework spanning mechanical design, circuits and embedded systems, control theory, and programming — the full mechatronics stack.
