About Me

Hello! I'm Kelvin Cao 👋

I'm a mechanical engineering student at the University of Toronto, expected to graduate in 2026 (including PEY Co-op).

My passion lies in building and designing a wide array of projects—from Formula SAE racing cars to 3D-printed gadgets and personal homeservers. Whether it's thermal systems, CAD modeling, or programming, I'm always eager to learn new skills and expand my engineering toolkit.

I thrive on challenges that blend creativity with technical rigor, and I love bringing ideas to life through hands-on problem-solving.
