As the director of the Tech Team for IEEE it is my pleasure to help plan out and mentor associates in working with embedded engineering and the vast array of resources available to IEEE UofT. I am in charge of creating curriculum and workshops for the students that can teach them relevant industry skills such as IoT. I also create projects such as a current ongoing Spiking Neural Network (SNN) project for showcasing the technical abilities of IEEE to the students.

At UTMIST I founded and now lead a team centered around creating functional Spiking Neural Network hardware for accelerated efficient AI made of Memristors. I supervise a talented team of 8 Software and Hardware engineers that come together to produce a fully functional accelerated Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) platform.

As an Electrical Advisor I work with a diverse team of undergraduate and graduate students in advising and facilitating electrical services for the many robotics projects created within UTRA. I provide mentorship in creating larger electrical systems and choosing the correct MCU and architecture to optimally perform in the given scenario.

FRC and FIRST were foundational to my growth in the field of robotics and embedded engineering. During my last 2 years, I was given the privilege of working as the programming and electrical lead for the team. This meant designing and creating a large control system electrically, programming an interface to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition, and tuning the robot as competition comes along. I also took responsibility in mentoring and educating the team related to robotics engineering.

I started as a member of the club, but I grew to learn many things. In my final year I participated as the president of the club, leading initiatives to help students in my school get involved with computer programming and hone their skills for whatever avenue of programming they want to pursue.
