Meet Alex, a 3rd-year Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo who initially enrolled in the Mechatronics program. With a passion for coding that emerged during high school robotics competitions, Alex found themselves drawn to software development instead of mechanical engineering. Sensing a disconnect between their interests and coursework, they navigated the challenging transfer process with thoughtful consideration and are now dedicated to helping fellow Tron students make informed decisions about their academic paths. Alex actively participates in coding hackathons and mentors newer students, sharing insights and strategies for securing co-op positions, focusing on the ever-evolving tech landscape.
