About ME

BACKGROUND

Since a young age, I've been fascinated with design and engineering. My passion is aviation, and I grew up designing all kinds of gadgets and tinkering with electronics and other do-it-yourself projects... Naturally, I pursued my studies in Mechanical Engineering with the Aerospace Option from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. I have an insatiable appetite for knowledge, so I haven't stopped learning...


CAREER

The early part of my career was spent designing and engineering flight simulators. I then started consulting in industrial design and engineering for all types of aerospace projects and consumer products. I eventually opened my own consulting firm, HyeProfile Inc.

I currently work in airworthiness engineering management for a large transport category jet aircraft manufacturer, Bombardier, and I do part time consulting on the side, to keep myself busy.
