He now works at Accipiter Radar as a Production Technician. In his role, he builds and installs new radar systems and performs preventative maintenance and fixes existing radar systems across North America and in Europe and Asia.

I graduated in 2025 from the Electronics Engineering Technology Co-op program.

Niagara College has good technology programs, and it was better for me financially.

I worked with Research and Innovation at WAMIC from April 2023 to December 2024. My role was an Electronics Research Assistant.

Since graduating, I have started my career journey with Accipiter Radar Technologies located in Fenwick, Ontario as a Production Technician. In the first couple of months, I have had the opportunity to experience new things, like working at heights in a boom lift, and have been welcomed by a great group of people.

The work I did at WAMIC is very similar to the work that I am currently doing now in my role at Accipiter Radar. I was able to use the skills that I have learned to help me learn new things and complete system builds ahead of schedule. I was also able to offer component suggestions that were well received by my manager.

One of the most memorable parts of a research project that I had worked on while working at R&I was completely wiring a table mounted machine. This was the first time I had done such wiring and the first time I had wired an electrical panel. The memorable part was when it was inspected and approved by a government approved third-party individual and got a compliment on how nice and neat it was.

I have no specific memories that stand out but I did get to do a lot of cool things during all my labs and I did create, build, and program a device that collected data from a number of sensors connected to it.

I would say actually do the work and labs and try to understand what you are learning about, and don’t be afraid to ask the professors questions if you don’t understand something.

I have not had the opportunity to learn new things since finishing my classes other than more about radar systems.

In the small amount of free time I have, I like to go out to try a new restaurant that I had found out about and go to a game shop to play boardgames with the regulars and new people that go.

In work, the proudest achievement I have so far is being able to go up in an 80ft boom lift to do preventative maintenance on a radar system on the top of a tower by myself while it being only the second time being in a boom lift in my life.
