Rajan Patel

With a natural inclination towards curiosity, I have found myself consistently fascinated by the realm of engineering. Since I was a child, I have been captivated by the intricacies of how things function, and this captivation has propelled me to enroll at McGill University to pursue a degree in Electrical Engineering. During my time in school, I've had the opportunity to participate in several innovative projects. One experience that left a lasting impression on me was the development of an autonomous cube sorting system for a project during my time at McGill University.

As part of my academic pursuits, I am actively engaged in the Flight Computer Hardware team of the McGill Rocket Team, which provides me with valuable opportunities to expand my understanding of the electronics field through a diverse range of tasks. 

When I’m not engrossed in my engineering textbooks or exploring innovative solutions, you’ll find me learning new hobbies. I firmly believe in the importance of a balanced life and how different experiences can contribute to making better engineering solutions. 

I am constantly seeking fresh challenges and opportunities for personal growth. Should you come across any captivating projects or opportunities, please do not hesitate to contact me via email.
