ENGINEERING STUDENT · MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
A practical mind.
A builder at heart.
I study Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering at Monash University. I enjoy connecting mechanical systems, electronics and software to turn an idea into something that works.
01 / HOW I WORK
My experience moves between the workshop, the browser and customer-facing work. I’ve built university engineering projects, worked with a software team, launched my own web applications, and learned how to communicate with people through real estate, hospitality and volunteering.
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
Mechatronics & Robotics
02 / SELECTED WORK
Engineering builds, useful software,
and the evidence behind each.
Showing all 8 projects.
A hands-on university robotics project bringing together a physical mechanism, wiring and sensors. These build photographs show the actual prototype and its components.
Project on LinkedInWorked with five teammates in FIT2101 to develop a sprint and task tracker. The application supports Kanban workflows, assignments, filters, activity history and an interactive tutorial.
Interface preview uses fictional test data.
A university CAD and construction project connecting a structural design with a physical prototype. The original project photograph documents the bridge under a load test.
