ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

© KABIR VIRK 2026
I'm an Electrical Engineering student at Waterloo focused on PCB design and embedded systems.
Right now that looks like laying out boards in Altium with WARG, writing firmware in C/C++ for Arduino and ESP32 projects, and building the habits around schematic review and documentation that make hardware actually ship.
Outside of engineering, I've worked in tutoring and a health-tech startup, which mostly taught me how to communicate clearly and move fast in environments with a lot of ambiguity. Still working on the rest.
Electrical Engineering (Co-op). Expected Graduation December 2030.
Relevant Courses:
Ontario Secondary School Diploma
Contributing to electrical design on competition UAVs for the AEAC Student Competition.
Selected after earning two Microsoft Azure certifications in the WEAccelerate program. Focused on data tooling and workflow automation for clinic outreach.
One-on-one and small group tutoring across Math and Science subjects.
What: Custom LDO regulator PCB for WARG's electrical onboarding bootcamp.
How: Full design flow in Altium: schematic, custom symbols, footprints, placement, routing, and DRC.
Result: Manufacturable board with zero DRC violations; DC bias verified with Murata SimSurface.
What: Web dashboard for breadboard hardware projects.
How: FastAPI backend over WebSockets; plain HTML/CSS/JS frontend; Arduino C++ firmware.
Result: Live oscilloscope, I²C scanner, and interactive pinout for Uno, ESP32, and STM32.
What: Fully wireless RC car with joystick control.
How: Two Arduinos + RF modules; custom C++ firmware.
Result: Stable up to 20 m, <5% packet loss, <100 ms latency.
