About Me

Hello! My name is Adam Turaj, and I am currently studying Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Class of 2030.

I have a strong passion for designing PCBs and developing mechanical structures. At school, I am an active member of the hardware and aerodynamics teams in Formula Electric racing team.

Outside of academics, I enjoy sim racing on Le Mans Ultimate and Assetto Corsa Competizione, as well as attending real-world motorsport events whenever I can.

Things I’ve Built

Featured Project

EOS 3D

Designed a low-cost cantilever 3D printer with self-calibration capabilities, progressing through two major design iterations. Focused on improving mechanical rigidity, cooling performance, and overall packaging.


Skills demonstrated: Fusion 360, Mechanical Design, Design for Assembly

Featured Project

Studprint

Designed a functional bedslinger-style 3D printer built primarily from classic LEGO bricks. Used SolidWorks assemblies to develop the mechanical layout while working within strict part and geometry constraints.


Skills demonstrated: SolidWorks, Assemblies

Featured Project

Skewbot

Co-developed the electromechanical system of a VEX IQ robot that solves Skewb puzzles, including a PID-based control algorithm for precise face rotation. The camera-based scanning system and solve-step generation were developed by project partners.


Skills demonstrated: SolidWorks, C++, Control Systems

Featured Project

BLDC ESC

Designed a 25 A, 8.4 V sensored brushless DC motor driver PCB for compact motor control applications. Created the schematic and PCB layout in KiCad with attention to power handling and signal routing.


Skills demonstrated: KiCad, Power Electronics

Featured Project

Hackboard

An STM32L476RG-based development board designed in an Arduino Uno compatible footprint, allowing existing shields to fit while providing higher performance and greater flexibility.


Skills demonstrated: KiCad, SMD Soldering

Featured Project

Draw2Route

Built the entire frontend for Draw2Route, a web app that maps user drawings onto real roads and routes. Developed in 24 hours at Rythm Hacks 2025, where the project won the Algorithms category.


Skills demonstrated: Svelte, Frontend Development
