About

Welcome to my website!

I am currently a Development Engineer at Leonardo Canada Electronics.

I graduated from Concordia University in Summer 2021 with my Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering, publishing my thesis in the field of Model Predictive Control Theory.

Previously, I obtained my Bachelor's Degree also in Mechanical Engineering from McMaster University. That is where I discovered my interest in control theory, modeling and simulation of vehicle dynamics, through experience working with the NEUDOSE Satellite Team.

Highlights of Qualifications:

Experience with development using C++, Python, Matlab and Simulink.
Knowledge Areas: Control theory, modeling and simulation, motion planning for robots, GUI design (Qt), delivering product training presentations, experience with all phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC).
Strong passion for teaching, demonstrated by growing my YouTube channel to 25K subs and 1.9M views by uploading various engineering tutorials, and publishing two Udemy courses.

Thank you for visiting my webpage! Links to my YouTube, GitHub and Udemy are above. Please use the Contact section to get in touch with me. I look forward to connecting with you.
