MECHATRONICS @ WATERLOO

Building cool stuff.
At cool places.

I'm a first-year Mechatronics Engineering undergrad at the University of Waterloo, interested in robotics, software, electronics, and mechanical design. I like figuring out how things work, then building something of my own.

03 / BEHIND THE BUILDS

Hi, I'm Shreyan.

My experience includes research at Simon Fraser University's Biomechatronics and NeuroSpine Lab, developing a compact bedside air purifier through Junior Achievement, and building gesture-recognition and embedded-systems projects like Gauntlet and an Arduino attendance tracker.

I like projects that bring code and physical things together. Right now, that means working on CAD for a robotic arm, starting with one finger, and building my foundations along the way. I'm always up for a good idea and the chance to learn something new.

Still learning. Still building.
