Hi, I’m

Matthew

Toronto → Paris

Originally from Toronto, currently studying electrical and mechanical engineering at Sorbonne Université in Paris. I build robotics, embedded systems, and hardware reliable enough to ship.

About me

Portrait of Matthew Sakhno

Robotics is where everything I enjoy about engineering comes together.

I grew up in Toronto and moved to Paris to study electrical and mechanical engineering at Sorbonne Université. Robotics pulled me in because every discipline has to meet in the real world: the electronics have to survive, the mechanism has to fit, and the software has to make the whole system useful.

I'm at my best when I can follow a problem across those boundaries, learn what I'm missing, and turn an early prototype into hardware that is easier to test, repair, and trust. That's the kind of work I want to keep doing with a team building ambitious physical products.
