About

Timothy Cai

I’m always open to new opportunities and experiences that let me learn more about engineering

  • Degree: Bachelor
  • City: Vancouver, Canada

I am a highly motivated and dedicated engineering student at the University of British Columbia, with a strong interest in mechanical engineering and a particular focus on aerospace. In my spare time, I enjoy designing and building hardware, electronics, and software systems, often for various rocketry projects, but I'm eager to apply this experience everywhere else. Come check out my projects!
