Hi, I'm Reim. Here’s what I’ve been working on!

I’m a Robotics Engineering student at the University of Toronto interested in automating systems and finding ways to bring robotics into everyday life, whether that’s in industry, the home, or beyond.

Little More About Me

Baking

I enjoy trying new recipes, experimenting in the kitchen, and occasionally attempting things that are probably more complicated than they need to be.

Climbing

I like the problem-solving side of climbing and having something that gets me away from a screen.

Outdoors

I enjoy hiking, exploring new places, and finding excuses to spend more time outside.

Reading

I like getting immersed in different kinds of stories and finding books that make me think about things differently.
