Firmware Engineer

PatientCompanion

Designing and optimizing embedded firmware for large-scale (250+ unit) patient-call hardware systems, including secure wired/wireless communication, real-time event handling, device provisioning, diagnostics, and reliable integration with clinical infrastructure.

IT Technical Assistant Intern

Housing & Conference Services | McMaster University

Improved check in/out for guests in 4000 rooms with automated card scanner using Python, C++, and Scripting. Worked with Bluecat to switch campus network ports to available upon request saving $250k+ in pilot project. Assisted with API calls and 100+ computer setups.

IT Infrastructure Analyst Assistant

Cyber System Solutions

Provide technical support for 25+ mobile devices, including setup and maintenance through Jira Support. Refurbishing computers and performing repairs/upgrades on a budget. Optimizing cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure including a hybrid server, and 10+ virtual machines.

CAD Training Coordinator

VEX Robotics at Central Peel Secondary School

Guided 50+ junior students in mastering CAD software to design and refine competition-ready robots. Delivered hands-on training sessions focused on efficient 3D modeling techniques using Autodesk Inventor.

Controls Team Member

McMaster Rocketry

Designed and manufactured STM32-based PCBs using KiCad for SRAD Avionics and Power Management. Developed embedded software in Rust for real-time DAQ and control, used in Strain Gauges DAQ and Airbrakes. Implemented CAN Bus communication protocols across multiple rocket subsystems, resulting in efficient data transfer.

Mechanical Team Member

McMaster RoboSub

Working on Actuation, specifically Thruster Placement and Mobility. This includes creating mounts and deciding on electronic components related to movement. My contributions are: torpedo launching and azimuth thruster systems.

Cluster Server

A cluster server made out of upcycled old tech. Originally including old full-sized computer desktop parts, currently includes Mini-PCs and old laptops. Also features a custom-made case. Goal is to make a cluster server capable of load-balanced computing and NAS storage.

ThermaLink

I developed the hardware and firmware for ThermaLink, an Arduino-based stovetop safety system for a client with Usher’s syndrome. Using an MLX90614 IR sensor, Bluetooth module, LED indicators, and a heat-resistant enclosure, the C++ firmware monitors stove temperature and sends alerts to a companion app when unsafe heat or prolonged use is detected.

Card Dropbox

Built an automated card-return workflow using an Intel Mini PC, Schlage card scanner, and ESP32. The system parses scanned credential data, triggers API-based guest checkout, sends automated email alerts, and uses an ESP32 + PIR sensor to verify physical card drop events for reliable end-to-end processing.

SPARK Learn-a-thon

Raised $2000+ and organized an innovative Learn-a-thon at Brampton City Hall. We live in a time of repetitive hackathons built around incredible students who can code at ridiculous speeds, and know the ins and outs of hardware. But how do students enter these hackathons? That is why we created the Learn-a-thon, an innovative hackathon that does not require any prior to knowledge — as it was taught at the event by guest speakers.

Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Scientist Associate (DP-100)

Hands-on experience gained in Azure Machine Learning, and multiple other Azure suite products. Coded using Python SDK V2 and CLI V2.

Columbia University: Quantitative Techniques

Data analysis certification, learning statistical concepts and their practical applications. Furthering my interest in data engineering, and understanding big data.

Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)

Introductory certification to learn all about the Azure suite and integration. Core cloud concepts including: computing, networking, and storage.

Advanced Placement Calculus AB

Scored a 5 on AP Calc AB exam.

MediTank

Shopify/Hackclub

Worked on the mechanical and hardware systems for MediTank, a robotic tank built for an apocalyptic-themed hackathon. The platform featured a heat-signature radar for threat detection, alert apps for medical staff, and an efficient threat-cataloging system.

MES Egg Drop

Built a physics-driven egg-drop design for the McMaster Engineering Society Competition. Our solution used a large crumple zone to absorb impact against a brick surface, successfully protecting the egg from high-altitude drops.

NSS Space Settlement Contest

Contributed by developing the transportation technology for our proposed spacecraft. Focused on propulsion concepts, internal transit systems, and feasibility analysis to support long-term human operation in space.

P1 Project - Airport Systems

Designed an efficient baggage handling system for ENG1P13, combining physical and data solutions. Built a 3D-printed and laser-cut cart with a Raspberry Pi–controlled QArm, while managing and analyzing airport datasets in Python to optimize operations.

P2 Project - Water Filter

Conducted research on sustainable, cost-efficient, locally sourced materials for filtering radioactive particles, aimed at small-community water treatment near Bruce Power. Project completed in ENG1P13 and presented to 50+ industry professionals.
