Hi! I'm Sid
Discovering new paths, creating unforgettable stories
I am an Engineering Science student majoring in Robotics with a minor in Advanced Manufacturing and a Business Certificate at the University of Toronto. My passion for solving complex, real-world problems drives me to constantly explore new systems and optimize existing ones. With hands-on experience in automation and solar energy projects, I've honed my technical, leadership, and collaboration skills, always aiming to create lasting, positive impacts.
Beyond academics, I embrace adventure, from scuba diving to hiking, which has deepened my resilience and adaptability. I'm also pursuing creative writing and am in the process of self-publishing my first novel. Whether through technology, nature, or storytelling, I’m always eager to push boundaries and take on new challenges.

My journey through tech has been driven by a passion for machine learning and building intelligent systems that bridge the digital and physical worlds. As the Fabrication and Structural Lead at Blue Sky Solar Racing, I led hands-on manufacturing efforts for our solar car. Through internships and roles in automation engineering at Mold Masters and RSX, I gained real-world experience developing software-integrated systems. On the ML side, I’ve tackled challenges across research, coursework, and personal projects: building a drone for real-time golf ball tracking in my capstone; optimizing 3D metal printing using machine learning in my thesis; predicting Formula 1 outcomes with a self-built neural network; and creating a Vision Transformer model for ingredient detection in a course project. Whether it’s robotics, computer vision, or AI-driven optimization, I love solving real-world problems through data and creative engineering. Dive into the details below!
Over the past year, I've embraced writing as a means of self-expression, a way to unleash my creativity, and a method to unwind and manage stress. My journey into the literary world has led me to the realm of fantasy, where I am currently finalizing my first novel with plans to self-publish. Simultaneously, I am developing several other stories, each rich with imagination and intrigue. Additionally, I craft short stories that vary in theme, often inspired by everyday thoughts and emotions, capturing the spontaneity of life’s moments
