Hi there! I’m Kevin Ge

About

Electrical engineering student at UWaterloo. From schematics, PCBs, and firmware to power systems, electrical grids, and the script that draws the schematic to the simulator that catches what the schematic missed. I like taking systems from ideas to live circuit, then writing the tooling so the next person can do it twice as fast. The diagram on the screen and the copper that carries real current are two parts of the same project to me. On paper a Waterloo EE student; in practice a builder who keeps finding problems that want both a soldering iron and a script editor.

ATSimulator

React·TypeScript·Power Systems

A browser-based Automatic Transfer Switch simulator with a CAD-style topology editor. Build any switchgear scheme (Two-Source, Main-Tie-Main, Main-Main-Main, or fully custom) and watch open transition, closed transition with sync-check, and fast transfer events execute in real time.

  • Graph-based connectivity engine using BFS flood-fill energization
  • Snap-to-grid editor with port-aware rotation and orthogonal wire routing
  • Variable simulation speed from 0.05× to 5× with timestamped event logging
  • ANSI device-function logic (27, 59, 81, 25, 86) and configurable timers

Project 02

HomePOD

Arduino·C·Python·Soldering

A custom voice-controlled smart home device. Recognizes spoken commands and drives household functions (temperature regulation, environmental sensing, scheduled tasks) over a hand-soldered control board with custom CAD schematics.

  • Voice command pipeline with sensor integration and power regulation
  • Hand-soldered prototype with AutoCAD Electrical schematic documentation
  • Cross-disciplinary build: hardware, firmware, and software co-developed
  • Modular design for replication and future feature expansion

Highlights

S&C Electric · Design Automation

Switchgear CAD Tooling

Toronto, ON · Jan 2026 – Apr 2026

Wrote C# and VBA tooling for Zuken E3 to automate high-voltage switchgear documentation: a custom BOM exporter, wire-connection data extraction through the ReportGenerator COM API, and bay-grouped device-name output with natural sort. Modernized legacy scripts and built an Excel-based MTM ATS simulator for internal use.
