Hi! My name is Divyamshu Shrestha, and I am a rising sophomore in Electrical Engineering. I have CAD experience as the Design Lead in my robotics team. I participated in projects during high school and my freshman year of college. I hope to create technologies that can help people in ways they didn’t know they needed.
