About Me

I'm Harsh and I'm a

Senior Mechatronics Engineering student at Ontario Tech University. I have experience in the Automotive🚗, Robotics🤖, & Manufacturing⚙️ industries through my academic studies and work experience.


My passion for engineering stems from a commitment to lifelong learning. I’m always eager to explore emerging technologies and continuously expand my skill set in areas that spark my curiosity!🎯


I am ambitious and driven, but I think that working on a like-minded team is more rewarding and fun! I'm currently looking for an Engineering CO-OP starting January 2025.
