I have been building and tinkering with computer hardware since elementary school, when removing and reinstalling a RAM module for the first time sparked my curiosity about how machines work. Discovering Arduino in high school turned that curiosity into a passion for building. In 2020, I began studying Mechanical Engineering with a focus on mechatronics at the University of Toronto . After graduating, I continued my studies in robotics at the University of Pennsylvania .
Outside robotics, I am an audio engineer and electronic music producer. I enjoy building DIY audio and DJ equipment, and my music has been released by labels including Sirup Music Group and featured on radio shows hosted by DJ Mag Top 100 artists.
