My greatest passion is turning ideas into tangible devices that solve complex problems/enhance the lives of other people. I have a wide scope of knowledge in mechanical, electrical, software, and health science.
I aspire to pass the PE Mechanical: Machine Design and Materials exam and get my license as soon as I have accumulated enough work experience.
I have an insatiable desire for learning new things that improve my abilities, efficiency, and quality of work.
