My Story

I’m passionate about building and learning. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the process of turning ideas into something real; whether that’s software, electronics, or physical systems. I started out fascinated by video games and once planned to pursue computer science, but over time I realized I was most engaged when working with tangible, real-world technology. That shift led me to engineering.

I began my path at Okanagan College in the Electronics Engineering Technology program. From the first week, it felt like the right fit. Circuit analysis, breadboarding, programming, soldering, debugging, I was motivated by the hands-on nature of the work and the clarity of seeing concepts come to life. My capstone project brought everything together: designing and building a fully custom PCB from start to finish. Seeing it work as intended confirmed that I was in the right field.

After completing my diploma, I chose to deepen my theoretical foundation through the Okanagan College to UBC Okanagan Engineering Bridge Program. The transition challenged me in new ways. The coursework was broader and more rigorous, with greater emphasis on independent learning, detailed lab reports, and collaborative projects. It pushed me to strengthen my time management, communication, and teamwork skills alongside my technical abilities.

At UBC Okanagan, my electives helped refine my interests. I studied digital communications, databases, industrial automation, VLSI systems, microwave engineering, bio-instrumentation, network security, encryption, and real-time operating systems. Through this combination of hands-on training and theory, I found my focus in embedded system; where hardware and software meet, and ideas become functional, reliable devices.
