About me

Hi, I'm Francis — a fourth-year student pursuing a double major in Mechanical Engineering and Computing Technology. I'm passionate about engines, mechanical design, and Formula 1, and I love combining hands-on engineering with smart, tech-driven solutions.

I bring close to two years of relevant work experience and a strong skill set in both design and programming. I'm proficient in SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Python, and Java, and I'm also experienced in Laser CNC, CNC milling, and TIG/MIG welding.

At 17, I started my own business, which sparked my interest in entrepreneurship and taught me how to lead, adapt, and innovate. This experience helps me approach engineering with a unique blend of technical skill and business insight.

Whether I'm building prototypes or solving complex problems, I'm always eager to learn and take on new challenges. Feel free to explore my site — there's a lot more to see!
