Ishaan Mehta

computer engineering student at uwaterloo

Hi, I'm Ishaan. I like building and software that is actually useful, robots, and computer vision stuff. Anything that makes the world more efficient or safer. Right now I'm studying Computer Engineering at Waterloo.

education

University of Waterloo

BASc in Computer Engineering, Co-op

First year · September 2026 – May 2031 (expected)

things i've made

basketball shot analyzer

Looks at your shooting form and gives feedback. It can also rate shots in any game from 1v1 to 5v5 by analyzing separation

python / pose estimation / ml

lamp robot simulation

A 5-DOF character lamp that uses a person's arm movement to control the simulated joints.

AutoFillPDF ↗

A tool for filling out annoying PDFs. I trained an object detection model to find fields in flattened forms and built the rest of the pipeline around it. Typescript / React / Node.js / Python / ML

FRC Team 2404

Electrical and programming for our 30+ person robotics team. One project was a targeting algorithm that let the robot line up a shot while it was moving. We won the 2026 CA District Glendale event.

electric bikes

Built a few mid-drive and hub-drive e-bike conversions. Made wiring harnesses, integrated the electronics, and spent a lot of time debugging battery problems.

work

SoCal Rehab — ML Engineer

Automated clinical paperwork with Vertex AI and Apps Script. Cut a roughly 5 hour process down to about 15 minutes per patient.

AutoFillPDF — Founder / Engineer

Built the product, ML pipeline, and everything else.

some tools i use

Python, TypeScript, Java, PyTorch, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Linux, PostgreSQL, GCP
