Hi, I'm Talha.

I'm a mechatronics engineering student at McMaster University focused on embedded systems, firmware, and the kind of hardware work that only gets fun once the debugging starts. I'm also incoming at Tenstorrent as a Systems Engineer Intern.

I like building systems that cross the software-hardware boundary: microcontrollers, control loops, communication buses, telemetry, and lightweight intelligence running close to the metal.

This site is where I collect the projects I'm proud of, the ideas I'm still thinking through, and some of the music, games, and aesthetics that keep me inspired while I build.

Right now I'm especially interested in embedded firmware, avionics, and reliable real-time systems.
