Bio

Hi! My name is Garrett, and I love learning about why things work, especially in space/physics, electronics, and computer science. I like to find this "why" by doing, so I particularly enjoy expanding my knowledge through projects and work experience. Currently, my main interest lies in applying hardware and control software to create sustainable space vehicles and devices. Over the past couple months, I've been developing a thrust-vectored model rocket to deepen my knowledge in this area. Aside from this, you can also find me playing tennis, guitar, and cooking with family and friends. More information about me can be found through my personal website: https://garrettengineer.com/
