About

Hi there! 👋

My name is Daniel Leung; a third year mechatronics engineering student at the University of Waterloo from Calgary, Alberta. I am a curious, open-minded designer and product manager looking for Summer 2022 co-op opportunities!

From cookies to fusion splicing to music application development, my past co-op terms have taken me to a large range of different industries. Throughout these internships, I have had the opportunity to learn and grow as an individual while working with great colleagues and am continuing to expand my knowledge as I transition into the workforce.

Recently, I have developed a keen interest for UI/UX, product management, and product design and am looking to transition my skills in this career path. I am incredibly open to exploring more opportunities with the hope to learn, grow, and develop my skills and knowledge to make a difference in the lives of others!
