About
About me.
I’m Nishant, an engineering student at Western University. I started out wanting to build bridges, then got into software.
What I’m into
I’m looking for work where I can take ownership and build things I’m excited about. I like how versatile and scalable tech is: you can work on all kinds of problems, and something you build can reach a lot of people.

Beyond the résumé
Outside class I’m building a motor controller from scratch (STM32, closed-loop field-oriented control), mostly to understand what a motor library is actually doing under the hood.
I love hackathons (HackMIT and Hack the 6ix this year), I’m learning tennis with the Western Tennis Club, and I like movies, the outdoors, and travelling.
Words that stuck with me
“You could be the master of your fate, you could be the captain of your soul, but you have to realize that life is coming from you and not at you, and that takes time.”
“Well done is better than well said.”
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
