About

I'm Clarke

Third year Computer Engineering student at Queen’s University with a strong interest in embedded systems development and UI design. I’ve gained hands-on experience as a Software Engineer Intern and Quality Assurance Intern at FUJIFILM VisualSonics, where I worked with technologies like C, C++, C#, WinAPI, ATL, COM objects, and automated testing frameworks on large-scale applications.

Outside of work, I enjoy building personal and team projects that range from low-level system applications (like a C data structures library and a multithreaded fractal generator) to full-stack solutions (such as a package security system with Arduino, MQTT, and Flutter). These projects let me combine my engineering background with my passion for problem-solving and design.

I’m also an active member of my community — competing in hackathons, participating in the Canadian Computing Competition, and balancing my technical work with athletics. I currently play baseball at Queen’s University (2023 Canadian Baseball Guru Rookie of the Year), and I’ve worked as a coach and umpire in sports.

I’m motivated by opportunities that let me design impactful software, bridge the gap between hardware and user experience, and work on collaborative engineering challenges.
