Ganeev Mujral / about

Ganeev,
away from the screen.

Student at Burnsview Secondary. Builder, volunteer, and teammate.

A little context

The people
behind the work.

My screen habits gave me a reason to try electronics. Local businesses gave me a reason to learn web design. Teachers gave me a reason to turn physics into something you can experiment with. I’m interested in engineering because I want to keep doing that—with better tools and harder problems.
