PERSONAL OVERVIEW
I am a Computer Engineering Co-op student at the University of Guelph, focused on embedded systems and low-level hardware engineering. My core stack is C and C++ — writing firmware, designing control algorithms, and applying real engineering principles to build systems that actually work. I care about shipping functional things, not just studying theory.
I competed in the GenAI Genesis 2026 hackathon, where my team built EcoLens — a sustainability scanner app powered by Google Gemini 2.0 Flash and live Canadian grocery APIs that reveals the true environmental cost of what you buy. I also run Digital Fixers, a local startup handling hardware and software repair — from board-level diagnostics and soldering to supply chain logistics.
Securing a co-op placement in embedded systems or software engineering — building real products in production environments and pushing what I can do with hardware and firmware.
OFF-GRID PURSUITS
When I am off the grid, my focus splits between a few different creative outlets and media. I am a massive fan of indie and garage rock, spending a lot of my downtime listening to bands like The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys. I also follow a select few shows and anime, with my absolute favorites being One Piece and Mr. Robot.
On the digital front, I execute technical video editing utilizing the complete Adobe Creative Cloud suite. My workflows cover a wide variety of edits, requiring strict mastery over motion blur integration and optimizing render pipelines for smooth playback.
Beyond the screen, I am at my best when building something from scratch. Custom PC builds, Arduino projects, soldering circuits, reading schematics — the whole process of turning raw components into something functional is what drives me. Whether it is a password-secured servo locker, a dual-axis solar tracker, or a gaming rig dialed in for peak stability, I am most at home with a multimeter in one hand and a soldering iron in the other. There is nothing quite like powering on a circuit you built yourself and watching it work.

Solar-Tracker-Project
HARDWAREDual-axis solar tracker built with Arduino, servo motors, and photoresistors. Actively orients a solar panel toward the strongest light source in real time, maximizing energy capture through automated positional control.
- CONTROL Dual-axis servo system driven by differential light readings across four photoresistors, continuously orienting the panel toward peak lux in real time.
- FIRMWARE Written in C++ with PlatformIO — handles sensor polling, angle computation, and PWM servo commands in a real-time embedded loop.
- MECHANICAL Custom 3D-printed housing designed in CAD. STL and G-code files included in the repo for full hardware reproducibility.
- DOCS Full schematic diagrams and wiring documentation included. Built and tested on physical hardware.
EcoLens
HACKATHONBuilt at GenAI Genesis 2026 — a Canadian sustainability scanner app that reveals the true environmental and financial cost of grocery purchases by scanning barcodes, labels, and receipts.
- SCAN Point your camera at a barcode or label to get a sustainability score (0–100) and the product's "true cost" — shelf price plus monetized environmental damage in CAD.
- COMPARE Instantly surfaces greener or cheaper alternatives sorted by Greenest, Cheapest, Sweet Spot, or Planet Pick.
- RECEIPT Photograph a receipt from Loblaws, No Frills, or Real Canadian Superstore for a full basket sustainability assessment with personalized swap recommendations.
- LOCALIZED Uses your postal code and vehicle data to factor in regional grid composition, transportation costs, and provincial seasonal produce calendars.
Engineering-and-Design-I
HARDWARESimulated an electric wheelchair drivetrain using a time-based open-loop control algorithm. Built for raw calibration tests and hardware endurance benchmarking on high-torque DC motors.
- CONTROL Open-loop time-based algorithm drives the motor at ~78% PWM duty cycle for 1.75 seconds, then hard-stops — simulating a calibrated wheelchair acceleration phase.
- SAFETY Master isolation switch on the 12V main rail for emergency shutdown. Common ground between 12V and 5V rails stabilizes Arduino logic and prevents accidental activation.
- FEEDBACK Micro servo (Pin 9) rotates from 0° to 180° on test completion, providing a physical visual signal that the run finished successfully.
- ARCHITECTURE Six-phase firmware sequence: safety check → servo init → acceleration → deceleration → completion signal → infinite loop lockout to prevent restart.
Arduino-Key-Safe-Locker
EMBEDDEDA physical hardware security circuit built on Arduino Uno — enter the correct password on a 4x4 keypad to release the servo locks and retrieve your key. OLED display tracks breach attempts in real time.
- AUTH Password entered via 4x4 keypad is validated against stored credentials. Correct input triggers three servo motors to release the locking mechanism.
- SECURITY OLED display logs and tracks failed password attempts in real time, providing visible feedback on breach activity.
- HARDWARE Custom chassis with expandable storage slots — up to three independent servo locks configurable for different compartments.
- DEMO Fully functional physical prototype, demonstrated live on video.
