Aaron Huang

I’m an Engineering Science student at the University of Toronto, specializing in Robotics. Previously Captain for FRC 7520, where I led 60+ students to two consecutive World Championship appearances. I build control systems, embedded hardware, and software.

I also enjoy building 3D printers, CNC controllers, and occasionally competing in hackathons.
