About Me
Hey, I'm Michael, an Engineering Technology student with hands-on experience in mechanical prototyping, embedded systems, Linux-based development, and process improvement.
I combine over a decade of marine industry experience with a practical engineering mindset shaped by CAD, 3D printing, scripting, and system integration. I am especially interested in building solutions that are not just technically sound, but also usable in real-world environments.
This website documents the personal projects, tools, and experiments I have used to explore that intersection. From mechanical design and embedded hardware to Linux systems and automation, each project reflects my goal of solving problems with a broad, hands-on engineering toolkit.
I am currently pursuing a Certificate in Cybersecurity and Cyberforensics, expanding my skills in digital forensics, network analysis, Linux administration, and system hardening. That work complements my engineering background and supports my broader interest in building smarter, safer, and more resilient systems.
Looking ahead, I am focused on completing my degree, earning my EIT certification, and continuing to develop cross-disciplinary projects that connect mechanical, electrical, and digital systems in practical ways.
Why Engineering Technology
I chose to pursue a degree in Engineering Technology because I enjoy bringing ideas to life and being involved in every step of the process. While I value theory and apply it when needed, my passion has always been in creating - building, testing, troubleshooting, and refining until something works the way it should.
This program gave me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across multiple disciplines, from mechanical design and prototyping to electronics and embedded systems. It is a skill set I try to reflect not only through my portfolio, but also in how I approach practical, multidisciplinary challenges.
