Graduation!

Published: Sunday, 10 August 2014

I finally graduated!  Stoked to give the valedictory speech at my graduation.  I received a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics) and a Bachelor of Computer Science from the University of Melbourne.  The first pic is of me and my mum, and the second is of a lectern towering before me!
