Experience
Mechatronics Engineer Intern
Cleveland Range
- • Designed and assembled custom wiring harnesses from scratch for new commercial cooking equipment, referencing self-created wiring diagrams, to allow for ease of use while troubleshooting by providing a labelled and organized view of each electrical connection.
- • Created and modified mechanical component plates using Inventor and AutoCAD to optimize for a better fit, component layout, and ease of access, improving unit assembly and troubleshooting efficiency.
- • Performed PPAP dimensional reports and purchased-part evaluations to identify and resolve quality issues, preventing recurring faults from occurring in production.
Software Engineer
University of Waterloo Rocketry Team
- • Resolved critical bugs in the Omnibus communication system using Python, increasing data transmission reliability between onboard subsystems by over 60%.
- • Designed and executed automated tests in Python to validate inter-system communication under simulated flight conditions, ensuring stability across 90% of test runs.
- • Contributed to the development of a custom-built communication library enabling seamless data exchange between rocket subsystems, enhancing modularity and code reusability.
Deputy Cadet Squadron Commander
Royal Canadian Air Cadets
- • Led a committee of 10 members to organize multiple mess dinners and awards banquets for 150+ attendees.
- • Responsible for maintaining squadron standards by elevating the drill, dress, and deportment of 100+ cadets.
- • Represented my squadron and the cadet program at national events, including official Ontario Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Projects
AI Discord Bot
Python, JSON, REST APIs, OpenAI, Git
- • Identified the need for centralized course resources; created a Discord bot in Python integrated with OpenAI API, providing real-time information about assignments, course outlines, and professor bios in a JSON format.
- • Designed and implemented REST API endpoints to dynamically fetch course data, significantly improving students' access to timely course information, utilized by 100+ students.
- • Utilized Git for version control, documenting each development stage clearly and enabling streamlined collaboration and rapid deployment of new bot features.
Machine Vision
Python, OpenCV, MediaPipe, Git
- • Developed a real-time posture checking app that analyzes live gym videos to evaluate form accuracy during exercises using Python and MediaPipe.
- • Implemented pose detection and joint-angle logic with OpenCV to identify incorrect form and provide targeted feedback to users.
Titanic Survivability Predictor
Python, TensorFlow, pandas, Git
- • Developed a survivability prediction model using TensorFlow and linear regression, training on historical passenger data to estimate survival outcomes.
- • Utilized Pandas for data preprocessing and Seaborn for exploratory data analysis to identify key survival indicators, achieving over 70% accuracy with the trained model.
