Mechatronics Engineering · UTS · Graduating Winter 2026

Hardware, software,
and everything
in between.

Final-year mechatronics engineer at UTS. I design and build robotic systems end-to-end from mechanism design and embedded electronics through to control algorithms and autonomy.

Background

I'm a final-year Mechatronics Engineering student at UTS, graduating in Winter 2026. I work across the full stack of robotic systems, mechanical design, electronics, embedded firmware, and software.

My interest in engineering started with competitive robotics in high school, where I was part of an FRC team. That foundation has shaped everything I've done since.

I'm currently leading the UTS Rover Team while finishing my degree. I'm looking for hands on graduate roles in robotics, automation, and related fields.
