About Me

Hi! I'm Wilson.

I enjoy delving into complex challenges to reach simple, effective solutions wherever possible.

I am a recent graduate from Ryerson University, in Toronto, Canada. I majored in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in the Mechatronics option of my program. Additionally, I completed a minor in Mathematics with a majority of my coursework focused in the fields of statistics, probability, and stochastic process modelling.

Through my past experiences on several design projects through school and as a member of the extracurricular Ryerson Rams Robotics Team, I have gained a competency with regards to product design, quality assurance, and general testing practices. I am also very familiar with embedded systems, software development, and software testing methods, through several extracurricular activities, past coursework, and self-study.

I am interested in the fields of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering; and, particularly, how they interact together to form a cohesive functional system. I am excited to learn and practice anything new, whether on my own or as part of a large team!

Projects

Some of my most recent engineering projects

Autonomous Snow Shoveling Robot

A robot able to clear snow off of a standard suburban driveway in any Canadian city was designed. It was able to clear a 2-car driveway in approximately 2 minutes. This was completed as part of the final year design project (Capstone Project).

The full report is available by request.

Linear Fume Tracker

A fume tracker system was designed and prototyped so that it would autonomously follow an object along a linear path, while maintaining a set distance away from the object at all times.

The control system and interface was designed with LabVIEW, with the use of an infrared proximity sensor peripheral connected to a data acquistion board to determine the system's relative position.

Automated Guided Vehicle

An automated guided vehicle (AGV) was designed and programmed to progress through an obstacle course and perform several tasks such as picking up cans and dropping them off at set locations, similar to industrial material handling systems.

This system was prototyped using a preconstructed robot car (called the "MechBot"). An Arduino UNO microcontroller was utilized to control the car throughout the entire course, while a secondary control module built from a LEGO NXT kit was interfaced with the Arduino and used as a robot arm. The microcontroller used to control the robot arm was called the "EVShield" in this project.
