Hi, I'm Shadhin
<start of internal monologue>
Built a rocket engine, founded 3 STEM clubs totalling 350+ members, got highest grade in CS and aced A Levels (equivalent of all AP classes) with only two weeks of prep while maintaining Ascendant on Valorant (top 0.7%). Then I graduated highschool. I don't just take on challenges. I break them (in a good way).

About Me
Why I Lived
I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a passion for embedded systems, propulsion engineering, and software development.
My journey in engineering began with building hybrid rocket engines and weather balloons, which led me to develop a deep interest in the intersection of hardware and software
I'm constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to apply my skills in real-world projects that make a difference
What's in a name?
WIL stands for Why I Lived, the first username I made and one that I use till this day. It's to me a phrase that represents your life's essence

Work Experience
Member at Propulsive Landers - Firmware Engineer
Georgia Tech
- Programmed a low-level firmware for stabilization controls in VTOL, integrating 16 sensors to achieve >70% increase in vector stabilization coded in C using SPI/I2C protocols.
- Designed a microcontroller framework to support VTOL operations with real-time feedback optimizing control loops for 55% more responsiveness to enable smoother vertical lift transition using FreeRTOS & JTAG.
Head of A&GNC - Embedded Systems Engineer & Software Engineer
AERD
- Gained wide media recognition in 45 news outlets and ≈30 TV broadcasts through conducting seminars in universities and participating in media interviews.
- Developed rocket flight computers with active fin stabilization from a 9DOF IMU improving in-flight oscillations by 87% compared to passive systems. used PID algorithm coded in C++ through ESP32 & Teensy.
- Made on-board flight prediction models which achieved trajectory forecasts with 92% accuracy and reduced potential flight risks by above 70% by implementing MDP algorithms coded in Python using RocketPy.
