About Me

Hi, I’m Manan Saini, a third-year Mechatronics & Robotics Engineering student at Queen’s. I get hooked on building — when I’m in a project, I can’t put it down — and I love turning loose parts into something useful, like Legos with a purpose. Engineering is the pulse behind everything I do; it shapes how I think, how I learn, and how I solve problems. I don’t know everything, but I keep learning through projects, internships, and the people around me. My dad’s line, “great things take time,” keeps me patient and focused on becoming a better engineer and teammate..
