Shanaya Barretto

Hey, I’m Shanaya! I’m in my 3B term of mechatronics engineering at the University of Waterloo (but completing it abroad at NUS!) and am super passionate about aerospace & aviation, as well as hardware projects in general. My experience includes work on acoustic whale tag development, reaction wheel & overall satellite hardware, delivery drones (soon!), Bluetooth SoC firmware, and autonomous underwater vehicles. I can always be reached at my email: ssbarret@uwaterloo.ca
