Hi, I am Christian Anderson - a dual U.S. and Canadian citizen pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering at McMaster University. I blend CAD modeling, simulations, and hands-on prototyping to turn ideas into reliable, high-performance systems, with a focus on lightweight design, aerodynamics, and embedded engineering. Outside of coursework, I contribute to Formula SAE, develop LiDAR-enabled wearable tech, and work on personal engine projects to deepen my hands-on skills and collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
