Hello, I am Utkarsh.

Welcome

I would like to welcome you to my website. I will use this website as a place to post about myself and my experiences. I hope to eventually get a blog, which I can use to write about things I am currently working on, learning about, and to voice my opinions about topics of interest.

About Me

I am a recent Mechatronics Engineering grad from the University of Waterloo. How recent you ask? I graduated in June 2018, so very recent.

My engineering education has provided me the foundation to design, analyze, prototype, and troubleshoot various mechanical, electrical, software, and mechatronics systems. But most importantly it has given me the ability to approach problems in a methodical manner allowing me to find the best suited solution based on the criteria.

Additionally, over the past five years, I have had the oppurtunity to apply and practice my learnings through six co-op experiences, extracurriculars, course projects, and personal projects. My co-op experiences have ranged from web development to process engineering to controls development and you can find out more about them on my experience page. I have a variety of projects ranging from the creation of smartphone enabled garage door opener to the development of a autonomous painting robot, which you can read about further on my projects page.

Recent Projects
