About Me! — Alexandre DesAulniers 🏕️⛵

center

Hello There!

My name is Alexandre DesAulniers, and I’d like to welcome you to my interactive portfolio.

I am a student at Dalhousie University, enrolled in a bachelors of Electronics Engineering. I run reseau.cabot.place, am an active member of Dalhousie Student government, maintain one of many side projects, and am a very active member of many communities. You can find a more complete profile on my LinkedIn.

Likewise, I hold interests in many things Electrical Engineers typically do, but also love being outdoors, managing personal investments, playing Ultimate Frisbee, and being an active member of my community.

I am proud of my work on reseau, and working on completing anotherPaper📃 on Canadian Nuclear supply, hopefully wrapping up in early January!

Please reach out at any point
