01 — About
Flying a Cessna 172 over Ottawa, Ontario

I'm Cyrus, an incoming engineering student at Queen's University who loves building things, and pulling them apart. Whether I'm combating air pollution with electrostatic precipitators, wiring an 8-bit computer on a breadboard, or planning a flight in a Cessna, I'm always curious, hands-on, and happiest when I'm making something real.

Ben Eater breadboard CPU design

Building an 8-bit CPU from scratch on breadboards, wiring up the ALU, registers, RAM, program counter, and control logic to understand how a computer actually works at the gate level.

EcoCoil Prototype
Iterative design and testing | Solidworks + 3D Printing + Arduino Uno

Designed and printed the full enclosure, assembled high-voltage transformers, wired the power supply, and validated 80%+ PM2.5 reduction with an air-quality sensor.

05 — Aviation

When I'm not building, I'm flying — logging hours in Cessna 172s and Redbird FMX simulators toward my pilot's licence.
