Sébastien Cabana
Embedded Systems & Hardware Design
When it comes to bringing circuits and moving systems to life, I don’t just follow the current – I help create it. As a computer engineering student at UQTR specializing in embedded systems, electronic design, and low-level programming, I focus on turning ideas into precise, reliable motion, from schematic and PCB to embedded software. What drives me is contributing to tangible innovations that are actually used, through projects like engineering competitions and tools recognized in the healthcare network, where rigor, creativity, and teamwork are essential.
