I'm an engineering student from Canada trying to make life better for the world's poorest people, ideally while also having a little bit of fun on the way. Below you can check out the coolest things I've done
Worked on the Victus Haze mission at Rocket Lab in New Zealand
Designed and tested equipment for underwater robots with Blue Robotics
Worked on Canadarm3, at Canada's premier space robotics company MDA Space
Taught 1st year engineering students how to design, manufacture, test, and document bottle rockets as a teaching assistant
Led the University of Waterloo's rocketry team to launching the first liquid rocket in Canadian history, which got us on the national news! Watch me weep with joy about it
Designed, built and flew a 10kg payload drone, all in 6 days
Self-teaching Mandarin Chinese, with the goal of being able to read Chinese classic literature in the native language
I am currently working on Prediction Review, a platform that evaluates predictions made by institutions to see if they come true. You can find that work here. This project was a winner of the inaugural Akatos Arena. I am also finishing my degree, traveling the world, running a weekly coworking session with Socratica, and reading lots of great essays!
