Avi Makhija

I am a first-year Engineering student at the University of British Columbia with a dedicated interest in mechanical engineering and high-performance motorsports. My technical background includes designing and programming an Arduino-controlled mechanical claw and utilizing CAD software to develop a 3D-printable toothpaste dispenser. I am a detail-oriented professional with experience in quality control and customer service, currently seeking a summer 2026 internship to apply my problem-solving skills in a technical environment.

I have experience in technical quality control and high-pressure service environments. As a Logistics and Quality Control Associate at Handpic Products Inc., I managed quality assurance for heavy-duty inventory and ensured zero-defect accuracy in a high-output facility. Additionally, I worked at A&W as a Cashier and Drive-Thru Operator, executing high-volume transactions with precision and maintaining operational flow under pressure. I am currently seeking a summer 2026 engineering internship to apply my analytical problem-solving and technical skills.
