Profile photo for Adrian

Technical Lead - Adrian

I was born and raised in the small town of Brockville, ON about an hour east of Kingston, ON. I have a younger brother who is in his 3rd 4th year of Commerce at Queens and my parents are both family doctors. I grew up speaking only English so I'm way more fluent in French than Cantonese. Heck, my Spanish and German (which I only picked up from travelling) is even better than my Canto.

I just finished started my 3B 4A term in of Mech. Eng. and am currently on a co-op term in Waterloo (not actually working atm). I've (wish me luck!) and have been on the team since 2017 where I did . I’ve done a lot of work with composites and even had the honour to design the aerobody for the previous solar car (MSXII). I'm interested in industrial design and product design and have done my last few co-ops at Ecobee, North, and ATS. My dream job would be running my own start-up where I get to tackle important global problems by applying my engineering and design skills. I love a well-brewed cup of coffee, working with my hands, and watching the latest This Old Tony video.

PM - Kristen

I'm one of 2 Shio's you'll find on Midnight Sun! I have an older brother who's on the team as a Solar lead and he has just graduated from Systems Design Engineering (SYDE). Funny enough, I'm also in SYDE and will be going into my 2B term in the Fall. I am currently on my co-op term as a UI/UX Designer at TD Labs based in Kitchener, ON. I previously interned at Connected and Manulife as a QA Automation Developer and UX Designer & Developer respectively.

I started out on Midnight Sun as a Business member back in the Fall of 2018. I helped out a bit with Interiors the following 2 terms where we worked on a wooden mockup of MSXIV. I'm also the Business team lead for the Spring term!

If I have free time, you'll find me doing origami and kirigami! I like doing a lot of DIY and paper crafts!
