Ramin Syed

Mechanical Engineer

I build systems people call unrealistic, then make them run in the real world — from turbocharging my own car as a teenager to engineering practical solutions that balance performance, reliability, and craft.

About

I am a Mechanical Engineering student at McMaster University with a 3.8 GPA, focused on turning rigorous analysis into tangible outcomes. I like precision, but I also care about how things feel in the hand and in daily use, whether I am tuning a drivetrain, refining a prototype, or shaping a workflow. Outside technical work, I recharge through baking, car projects, and Japanese design culture that values restraint, utility, and intentional detail.
