About

Hey, I'm Deepak

4th-year Electrical Engineering @ UBC · graduating May 2026

Looking for full-time roles in embedded systems, electronics, or hardware-focused software. Open to startups and larger teams.

I've spent most of my time at UBC trying to understand what happens at the boundary between software and hardware: where a line of code becomes a physical thing that does something in the world.

That curiosity pulled me towards embedded systems, PCB design, and signal processing. I've done co-ops at Schneider Electric and Star Solutions that pushed me to work on real products under real constraints, which honestly taught me more than any course.

Right now I'm deep in capstone — working on a power subsystem for a Micro-Optical Geostationary Satellite with the MOGO team. It's challenging in a way I really enjoy: tight tolerances, high stakes, and no textbook answer.

Outside of that, I try to stay curious about things that have nothing to do with engineering. I think that's what keeps the work fresh.
