hi, i'm thanh.

I'm a Mechatronics / AI Systems Engineering student at Western, splitting my time between SOLIDWORKS, an Arduino IDE, and a vacuum bag full of carbon fiber. I design structural parts for a Formula SAE car and build robots on the side.

Deep in Formula SAE season — CAD by day, resin infusion on weekends. Looking for an internship that keeps this pace up.
