Hi, there!

My name is Daniel McDonald. I’m a fresh mechanical engineering graduate with a love for philosophy, a curiosity for how our minds perceive the world, and an appreciation for Solidworks’ Hole Wizard.

From my research integrating computational neuroscience with robotics, I developed a goal of infusing concepts of mind and sensor fusion from neuroscience and philosophy into my engineering. However, realizing that my perspective on my own degree is limited, I wanted to broaden my horizons before jumping into specialization.

Now, I’m looking for a challenging and interdisciplinary job that will provide this perspective I’m looking for.

Thanks for stopping by—feel free to reach out or check out my projects!
