Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Dai is a founding engineer and entrepreneurial tinkerer studying Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto with 11 years of hands-on experience across embedded systems, low-power design, IoT, and RF. He co-founded a MedTech startup focused on real-time voice translation and now helps lead Prandtl Dynamics while building experimental robotics and semi-autonomous aircraft projects. Joe has led cross-functional hardware and software teams—overseeing vehicle interface firmware for a self-driving Chevy Bolt and managing power systems for a 3U CubeSat—combining practical PCB and firmware design with system-level testing. He brings a full-stack maker mentality from running compute and storage infrastructure to shipping production web services and automation tools, and he’s actively seeking summer and extended co-op roles to apply his hardware/software hybrid skills. Notably, his background spans both competitive university research on CPU side-channels and founding ventures that turned hands-on prototypes into incubator-recognized products.
