Summary

I am currently in my second year at the University of Canterbury, studying towards a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours, specialising in Mechatronics. Projects involving the likes of drones, robotics, and automation continually spark my interest, particularly the development and application of rovers and UAVs within space-related industries. So far, my studies have allowed me to develop my skills in mechanical design, electronics, and programming, as well as problem-solving, attention to detail, and the capacity to work effectively in a team. I am eager to secure an internship where I can contribute to real-world projects, learn from experienced engineers, and further develop my engineering skills.
