About Me

Profile Picture

Education

Pursuing Bachelors of Engineering Science in Mechatronic Systems Engineering at Western University

Rewarded Dean's Letter of Recognition for Leadership and Community Service

Achieved Dean's Honor List Each Year for Academic Excellence

Currently maintaining 4.0 GPA in my final year

Interests

I enjoy creating DIY robotics and programming projects, both to improve my skills and have some fun

I've been playing guitar, piano, and producing my own songs for my whole life

I love to give back to the community by creating or participating in initiatives that drive real change

I enjoy learning a lot about everything and anything I can

My Story

Hello, I'm Ethan Rowe, and welcome to my website! I'm currently in my fifth year of my Mechatronic Systems Engineering program at Western University and I'm actively seeking opportunities to apply my skills, contribute to innovative projects, and grow my career. My journey into engineering started during high school, where I began creating small software projects with Python in my spare time. This eventually led me to the Mechatronics program at Western University, where I’ve worked on projects ranging from robotic vision systems to hybrid-powered concrete mixers. Each project has deepened my passion for creation and personal development, and I can't wait to apply my skills in the real world.
