Starting this site (and this log)

June 21, 2026 · meta, plan

I'm in Grade 10, and I won't apply to university until Grade 12. So why build an engineering portfolio now?

Because the best part of a portfolio isn't the website — it's the work, and work takes time. If I start documenting projects today, by the time I apply to the University of Waterloo I'll have years of real builds to point to instead of a list of intentions.

The plan for this log is simple: short posts about what I'm learning in electronics and code — including the things that break. Next up is my first Arduino circuit, then working toward a line-following robot.

More soon.
