About Me
Welcome to my portfolio! My name is Chester Merino, and I am a graduate of University of California - Merced, where I earned a BS in Computer Science and Engineering. While my academic focus was on computer science, my passion extends to other engineering fields, including mechanical and electrical engineering. Here, you'll find a collection of projects that showcase my skills, from 3D printed designs to innovative circuits. I hope you enjoy exploring the work that reflects my diverse interests and expertise in engineering.
