About Me
Mechatronics engineering at the University of Waterloo.
me, 2026
I swam competitively for five years outside of school and another two with my high school team, and made it to OFSAA. Most of my time outside class still goes to the pool, the gym, reading, and a lot of anime and manga.
When I've got the time, I'd rather be working on a project — robots, mechanisms, and right now a 3-axis CNC machine.
Outside of School
Swimming. I swim competitively and it's what I've kept up the longest. Early mornings, a lot of laps, no screens.
The gym. I lift most days. It's the routine everything else hangs off.
Reading. The easiest way for me to switch off at the end of the day, and the one hobby I can do anywhere.
Anime & manga. 95 shows and 19 manga finished so far — more on that below.

Anime & Manga
This is honestly where a lot of my free time goes. I've finished 95 shows — a bit over 1,200 episodes — and 19 manga, around 1,200 chapters. Mostly action, with a lot of romance and suspense mixed in. The ones I rate highest tend to be the ones that get darker than you expect.
