Building from Waterloo, Canada

Hey, I’m Dylan.
I build things that make the physical world smarter.

I’m a mechatronics engineering student who likes turning “what if?” into working hardware, useful software, and the occasional late-night prototype.

Things I’ve brought
into the world.

A mix of hardware, AI, and experiments that taught me something worth keeping.

Curious by default.
Hands-on by choice.

I’m happiest somewhere between an idea and a prototype—learning just enough electronics, code, design, or business to make the thing real.

I grew up in Vancouver and now study Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo. My projects have taken me from wildfire sensors and AI drug discovery to running a window-cleaning company with friends. Different problems, same itch: understand the system, then improve it.

Some places I’ve learned by doing.

Teams, challenges, and small bets that shaped how I work.
