mechanical engineer / builder / community organizer
Hey! I'm Chayanth — a Mechanical Engineering student at TMU with a love for building things, leading teams, and making stuff that matters. From robots winning world championships to organizing hackathons, I'm always willing to put in the work.

things i've built
Engineered the robot chassis using precision CAD modelling. Oversaw in-house manufacturing of all mechanical subsystems and optimized drive performance and autonomous sequences — leading Team 2056 to Ontario District Champions.
Built a desk-based Pomodoro device combining a focus timer with a motivational game. Designed 3D models and animations for the prototype. Delivered a functional demo at McMaster Designathon under strict time constraints.
