I am a Master of Engineering graduate from the University of Toronto with a passion for problem solving and learning. This site is a showcase of the projects I have worked on and the competencies I have developed from them. I hope you enjoy exploring my website, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or see something you like!
Designing a machine for making gas cooling coils out of steel tubes.
Team leader for an autonomous plant watering robot project (Final Year Capstone Thesis). It uses a LIDAR sensor to measure its surroundings and a SLAM algorithm to navigate. We also built a custom watering arm to water pots that are placed up to 130 cm high. To accurately locate the plant pots, it can also use computer vision to identify April Tags placed on the pots.
A low cost digital imaging tool using the dVRK Rod Lens.
Designing a for teaching STEM concepts to children using a ping-pong launcher.
Optimizing the strength of a PMMA part using the minimum amount of material.
I was Mech Lead for UTRA in my final year of undergrad. I was responsible for the chassis and hardware of our autonomous outdoor rover named Caffeine. I designed and manufactured new systems for the rover and made executive decisions for my team.
I challenged myself to run a half marathon on May 5, 2024. I trained 3 months for it, doing regular long distance runs and weight training. I successfully completed the race and I am extremely proud of my finish time of 1 hour, 55 minutes, and 3 seconds !
A friend of mine got an MRI of their brain so I offered to 3D print it for them.
We are what we repeatedly do.
