Welcome
Welcome to my home
page hosted by the University of Toronto's (U of T)
Student Web Server, UTORWeb.
I started a website
back in my undergraduate days (1999), then made a few
updates during grad school (2006). After working a
few years and travelling around the world, I decided it
was about time to update the site (2012).
This website
contains my electronic résumé,
descriptions and photos of my various engineering
projects, and photos of my travels. I've added
links to the travel pages to the places I've gone in
case anyone wants to use my experience as a basis for
their own adventures on our planet.
All the
photos on this site were taken by me or by my friends
and family - mostly on Sony Cybershot Cameras.
You'll see from the
site, I'm still a plane and train guy - that hasn't
changed for the past 20 years! I am fortunate to
be able to work in the subway / rail industry.
If you have any
comments on this site, feel free to leave me a message!
