Hi, I’m Athrav Seruwam.

Mechatronics Engineering @ UWaterloo. Applying engineering principles to design and build reliable software systems.

Introduction

Overview.

👋 Hey! I’m Athrav, a Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, driven by curiosity to turn complex ideas into practical, reliable tools.

🧩 I’ve worked across CAD, analysis, and code — optimizing layouts, modeling systems, and writing small but reliable tools that make workflows easier. I strive to tackle complex challenges and turning them into clear, functional systems.

⚙️ Interests: tooling, UI polish, performance, automation, and turning rough ideas into simple, well-documented artifacts others can use.

⚽ Outside the classroom, I tutor math and spend a lot of time playing soccer. I’m always excited to collaborate on projects that combine creativity with engineering, whether that’s small utilities or larger builds with a meaningful twist.

🎯Currently exploring: TypeScript + Next.js, Python scripting, and design systems.
📍Based in Ontario, Canada.
