Menzies
Final-year engineering student at QUT. Building autonomous UAV systems,
writing embedded software, and solving problems at the edge of hardware and code.
About
I'm a fourth-year Aerospace and Electrical Engineering student at Queensland University of Technology, currently in my final semester.
My work centres on autonomous systems — from ROS-based flight controllers and computer vision pipelines to embedded C and signal processing. I'm most at home when hardware and software have to work together under real constraints.
Outside of engineering I play cricket, game, and spend too much time tinkering with electronics projects.
