My name is Ryan , and I have a passion for learning and building.

With a background in Mechatronics Engineering, specializing in AI from the University of Waterloo, I have developed a deep understanding of the intricacies of complex systems and am dedicated to creating outstanding products.

My journey includes contributing to trapped ion research under Dr. Rajibul Islam at the Institute of Quantum Computing, as well as conducting microgravity solder research with the Canadian Space Agency and the National Research Council. I led the engineering design for a ten month design cycle and we received the Overall Excellence Award in 2024 out of all teams in Canada. For more on my work with microgravity research, check out thisnews article.

I have also excelled in competitive hackathons, securing six wins, notably 1st place at MHacks, top 5 and sponsor prize at McHacks in McGill for an early build of a Chrome Extension with Cohere NLP in 2022 before it became big, and the Best Emerging Hardware Hack award at Georgia Tech. Driven by a love for technology, I am eager to continue pushing boundaries and solving the challenges of tomorrow.
