Meet Alex "Wrench" Thompson, a mechanical engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a knack for tinkering and a love for all things mechanical. Growing up in a family of DIY enthusiasts, Alex developed a passion for fixing and creating gadgets from a young age. Known for their playful sense of humor, they often lighten the mood in study groups by throwing in witty comments about engineering quirks, like the infamous BYO WD40 policy. A dedicated co-op student, Alex is always ready to lend a hand—or a can of lubricant—when the machinery malfunctions.
