I am an electrical engineer with a master's in self-driving vehicle security. I enjoy tinkering and am currently doing the electrical for the trailer. In my spare time, I design ferrofluid-inspired modular pieces which I hope to showcase at upcoming music shows and music festivals. I am excited to display my work to the broader Calgary community and the art engineers across Alberta and the USA
