Bio
Rudraksh Goel
Ben and I have been co-workers in a number of group projects in our time studying mechatronics engineering at UQ. Ben has always been extremely diligent, organised, communicative and enjoyable to work with, always deliberately analysing details and ensuring the most productive outcomes. Together, we achieved a grade of 7 in a number of courses. He has a wonderful ability to pick unfamiliar tasks and gain a very deep understanding of the theory required to approach them. All in all, he is highly efficient and fun to work alongside. I would very much recommend making him a part of your team or company if the opportunity arises!
