Hey, It's

I am
Let's Connect!.
I am a second year Computer Engineering student attending Queen's Univeristy. I was 1 of 50 students admitted into the ECEi (Electrical and Computer Engineering Innovation stream) program at Queen's. It gave me the opportunity to get a headstart to more of the technical computing focused courses. Through this program I am given the opportunity to take a few courses from the very reknowned Smith Scool of Business in order to indulge myself into the world of commerce and what it takes to be a thriving industrialist and a successful entrepreneur.
As a Software Engineer my role on the team is to help program the various sensors that are built in the pod such as pressure (relative to the braking mechnism of the pod), infrared (calculates the distance from the end of the tunnel to prompt the brakes when enough distance is covered). The programming for the sensors and the Microcontrollers (STM32) is done in C. While the GUI of the pod is written in python using the PyQt libraries. On the non-technical aspect, being a Sponsorship Coordinator, my sole purpose is to positively represent the team to industry professionals in order to spark a partnership. In the past, I have talked to and impressed the team of EY and Deloitte, and am currently in touch with executives at BMO, RBC, CitiBank and SNC Lavalin. For the first time ever, our team is considered in the top 20 teams out of 1500 across the world, we will be competing at the Space X Hyperloop pod competition in Summer 2019 - California!
