About Me

I am a fourth-year Mechatronics Engineering student with a passion for building innovative systems and solving real-world problems. I have a strong interest in the aerospace and automotive industries, particularly in robotics, embedded systems, and intelligent technologies.

Outside of engineering, I am the rhythm guitarist for the Christchurch rock band “Red Weekend,” where we aim to capture the iconic hard rock sound of the 80's inspired by the legendary bands that defined the era.
