About Me
Introduction
I'm a Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo who enjoys learning by building. I like taking on projects that push me outside my comfort zone and figuring out how different technologies can work together.
Recently, I've been exploring robotics and autonomous systems through my work on an autonomous boat, where I'm learning about navigation, sensor data, and software development using ROS 2.
