Mehak
Certified Tutor
I am Mehak Khan, an aspiring electrical engineer with a passion for cloud technologies, software development, and innovation. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, I am motivated by the opportunity to solve complex challenges and build scalable solutions that have a meaningful impact. My academic journey, along with my hands-on experience, has shaped my approach to problem-solving, making me a versatile and innovative developer.
Throughout my career, I have worked across different roles in technology. At Landscape Direct Corps., I spearheaded the development of a real-time analytics engine and improved query response times by 35% through the implementation of efficient data pipelines. In my role as an AWS Administrator at Toyota Canada, I contributed to optimizing cloud resource management by designing intelligent dashboards and implementing secure network architectures. My experience on the Waterloo Rocketry team allowed me to combine hardware and software skills, from designing PCBs to debugging system communications, enhancing both my technical expertise and collaboration skills.
One of my most notable projects was during the Toyota Innovation Hackathon, where I led a team in optimizing AGV navigation with autonomous control, reducing delivery times by 30%. This experience exemplified my ability to lead and collaborate effectively while delivering impactful results.
I am deeply committed to continuous learning, with certifications like AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and a solid foundation in programming and digital circuits. My goal is to further specialize in cloud architecture and systems design, contributing to the future of technology through innovative projects.
With a strong technical foundation and a drive for innovation, I am eager to connect with like-minded professionals and pursue opportunities that challenge me to grow, both as an engineer and as a leader in the tech industry.

Weightlifting and Active Pursuits (Calisthenics, Running, etc.) I am passionate about maintaining an active lifestyle through weightlifting, calisthenics, and running. These activities not only keep me physically fit but also challenge my mental discipline and resilience. Weightlifting has taught me the importance of consistency and progressive improvement, while calisthenics and running push my body’s limits, improving my stamina and functional strength. Staying active fuels my productivity and helps me balance my academic and professional pursuits, reinforcing the importance of both physical and mental well-being. Rocketry Student Design Team As a member of the Waterloo Rocketry Student Design Team, I channel my engineering skills into real-world aerospace projects. The team environment has been an incredible learning experience, where I’ve designed and tested rocket components, collaborated on challenging technical problems, and developed a deep passion for space exploration. Being part of this team gives me the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to hands-on projects, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in aerospace technology. Drawing Drawing has always been a creative outlet for me, offering a space to express my ideas visually. Whether it’s sketching technical diagrams or conceptual art, drawing allows me to slow down and explore my creativity in a different way from engineering. This hobby enhances my attention to detail and fosters innovative thinking, which often translates into my approach to problem-solving in technical fields
