Mechatronics Engineering

Hi, I'm Shreyan!

I'm a first-year Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I enjoy working on projects that combine software, electronics, product development, and hands-on problem-solving.

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'm currently developing my technical foundations and looking for opportunities to contribute, learn, and work on meaningful engineering problems.
