About
About me
I am an enthusiastic Mechanical Engineer based in Vancouver, with many experience in various fields.
Currently a mechanical engineering student at UBC, I boast a rich tapestry of experiences that spans sectors like construction, customer service, food and beverage, and teaching. Each role has broadened my perspective, enriching my problem-solving skills while enhancing my communication and adaptability in varied professional landscapes.
In addition to my hands-on experiences, I have also delved deep into the realm of research. Here, I have capitalized on my proficiency in programming languages and tools like C++, Python, and OpenCV. My interest in machine learning has further augmented my analytical and problem-solving capabilities. Leveraging these tools, I’ve worked on projects that lie at the intersection of engineering and computational sciences, illustrating my capacity to integrate knowledge from multiple domains. My diverse background and skills make me a unique asset in any collaborative setting, and I am always eager to embark on new challenges.
My Skills
I believe in the fact that learning never stops and I am interested in learning new technologies and programming languages that will help me build and develop a better output in less time.
