About Me
Hi, I'm Tinashe Masoka, a Computer Engineering student at the University of Alberta, specializing in Nanoscale System Design. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys exploring the world of programming, embedded systems, and creative problem-solving. For me, engineering isn’t just a field of study—it’s a passion that constantly fuels my curiosity and drive.
Outside of my academic life, I find balance through my hobbies, which include calisthenics, hiking, pickleball, and occasionally diving into small personal projects. I also enjoy team sports like basketball and football, where I’ve developed a strong sense of collaboration and perseverance.
I value dedication, continuous learning, and taking on challenges with a positive mindset. Whether it’s solving a complex problem, competing in sports or simply improving a skill, I believe in putting in the effort to grow and contribute meaningfully.
