About
✦
I'm Talha, a Toronto-based mechatronics engineering student at McMaster University. I'm incoming at Tenstorrent as a Systems Engineer Intern.
Embedded work is what excites me most. I like bringing up microcontrollers, interfacing with sensors, and just dealing with low level things in general.
What I care about
- Embedded firmware on STM32 and ESP32-class hardware.
- Communication and telemetry systems built around UART, I2C, RS-485, CAN, and MQTT.
- Controls, sensing, and avionics-adjacent engineering.
- Projects that feel technically solid and personally meaningful.
Technical toolkit
- Languages: C, C++, Python, MATLAB, Java, and Rust.
- Embedded and hardware: ESP32, STM32, PCB design in KiCad and Altium, FreeRTOS, and MbedOS.
- Tools: Git, Docker, Linux, VS Code, soldering, and oscilloscope debugging.
- CAD and mechanical support: Fusion 360, Inventor, and Onshape.
Outside engineering
I've spent most of my life playing guitar, and you can find some of my videos with an incredibly infrequent posting schedule here: youtube.com/@AverageMetalElitist
