About Me
Hey, I'm Michael an Engineering Technology student with hands-on experience in mechanical design, embedded systems, and process improvement.
I combine a decade's worth of marine industry experience with a technical background in CAD, Python, and Linux, bringing a practical perspective to real-world engineering challenges and processes.
This website documents my personal projects, each designed to reflect the breadth of Engineering Technology by tackling a wide range of problems using an equally wide range of tools.
I'm currently pursuing a Certificate in Cybersecurity & Cyberforensics, expanding into digital forensics, network defense, and system hardening with the goal of becoming more versatile in modern work environments and building smarter, safer, and more efficient systems.
Looking ahead, I'm focused on completing my EIT certification and continuing to develop cross-disciplinary projects that bridge mechanical, electrical, and digital systems — with the goal of turning creative concepts into functional, real-world solutions.
Why Engineering Technology
I chose to pursue a degree in Engineering Technology over a more traditional engineering path because I enjoy bringing ideas to life and being involved in every step of the process. While I value theory and have no problem applying it when needed, my passion has always been in creating—building, testing, and refining until something works. This program gave me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across multiple disciplines, from mechanical design to electronics and embedded systems. It's a skill set I strive to embody not only through my portfolio but also in how I approach unique, multidisciplinary challenges.
