Toronto, ON
Thanks for visiting! I'm Ishraq Anwar, a 3rd year Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I'm passionate about embedded systems, software engineering, and ML. I love building innovative solutions that combine hardware and software to solve real-world problems.
I have previously had the opportunity to intern at companies like The Canadian Space Agency, Curinos, and Ontario Ministry of Health - Emergency Services, where I was able to contribute to impactful projects and gain hands-on experience in various fields. I'm currently seeking an eight month co-op for Winter/Summer 2026 (Jan - Aug) to further develop my skills and make meaningful contributions.Currently seeking Winter/Summer 2026 Engineering Internships (Jan - Aug)
