Hello! I'm a second-year Electrical & Electronics Engineering student at the University of Auckland. I'm early in the degree, but I haven't waited to start building - I'd rather learn a concept and then go test it on real hardware than leave it on paper.

I'm drawn to control systems, embedded systems, and mechanical/PCB design because I think automation and robotics are about to have a major breakthrough in the global market, and I want to be building the skills now to be part of that industry when it does. At the same time, I genuinely enjoy the subject for its own sake - I like the theory as much as the hands-on side, and the satisfaction of watching the two actually meet in something that works.

P.S: Full disclosure - the code behind this site is vibe-coded with AI. I'm not a web developer and don't plan to turn my high-school HTML skills into a career; I just wanted somewhere to showcase myself. To be clear though, that only applies to the site's code. The projects are mine, and the write-ups are written by me in my own words.
