MEng Mechatronics (SFU) · BC Teaching Certificate · EIT (EGBC)
I'm an engineer who has spent his career at the intersection of systems and people. A Master of Engineering in Mechatronics from SFU and a Bachelor of Technology from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College gave me the foundation; four years at Samsung taught me to turn complexity into something people can actually use. Teaching was a deliberate move — bringing that same precision into the classroom, where systems thinking becomes a way to develop people.
Outside the classroom I've built a company from zero, led a community organization through five years and every level of its leadership, and served Canada's democratic process at the polls. The thread through all of it is simple: work, at its best, is service.
