Hello! I'm Andy.

I'm pursuing a BASc. in Architectural Engineering with a specialization in Building Systems and a minor in Management Sciences at the University of Waterloo. After graduation, I will be pursuing a MASc. in Mechanical Engineering.

​

My areas of interests include fire protection, HVAC systems, project management, and automation.

Photo: What's left of a tower made of stir sticks and glue after seismic testing. The purpose of that project was to apply my knowledge of lateral and gravity systems. Weights were added during testing to simulate occupancy. Failure was caused by poor anchoring and gluing of eccentric bracing on the ground level.
