Akshar Barot
Designer and engineer studying Software Engineering @ the University of Waterloo.
I see engineering as a tool to make life more convenient. I strive to build solutions that are not only functional but also beautiful and satisfying to use.
I'm always curious, learning, and looking for the next problem to solve.
