Upcoming Project
An exciting new project currently in development. Stay tuned for updates as this innovative solution takes shape. More details will be revealed as development progresses.
ThermaLink
The kitchen is what defines a home for many, but for individuals with disabilities, it can become a dangerous task. The team's client faces significant challenges in the kitchen due to Usher's syndrome, which causes progressive vision and hearing loss, as well as a lack of sensation in her fingers. This is a huge safety risk, especially when working with a stove, which is the most common cause of house fires when left on. That's why we created ThermaLink. It features an infrared heat sensor, Bluetooth board, visual LED system, heat resistant material coating, and a device power button for cooking. Along with its companion app, the ThermaLink can notify the client to her phone.
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.

AllSpark 4939 robotics team member. Worked on CAD parts for robots in Autodesk Inventor Professional. Placed top 10 in Canada for game design in virtual tournaments.
Hackathons & Competitions
MediTank
A project created at Shopify/Hackclub hackathon. Worked on mechnical and hardware parts of robotic tank. As the hackathon was based in an apocolyptic environment, MediTank aimed to be able to provide healthcare on the go. Features included: a deployed radar system based on heat signatures for detecting threats, alert apps for medical workers to pack things up and leave, and efficient threat catalogs.
MES Egg Drop
Project was created in McMaster Engineering Society's Engineering Competition. Applied physics principles and creative engineering to protect an egg from high-altitude drops. Although the task might sound simple, it was a complex egg drop, consisting of physics reasoning. Our design featured an extensive crumple zone to take the hit of the drop against a brick, and succeeded.
Academic Projects
Project focused around designing efficient baggage handling systems. This project includes both a physical and data handling solution to the baggage crisis. Our team's solution to the physical baggage handling includes a 3D printed and laser cut cart system, along with a Raspberry Pi controlled QArm. For the data handling side, we analyzed and managed extensive airport data sets, and created professional level data-handling systems using Python for airports. Project was made in the ENG1P13 course.
Research project for finding a suitable water filter material for filtering radioactive particles. Main goals were to be sustainable, cost-efficient, and locally sourced, as this project was focused on making treatment plants for small communities surrounding Bruce Power plant. Project was made in the ENG1P13 course, and presented in front of professionals in a room of 50+ people.
Certifications & Exams
