Bio

My name is Taira Mehta, and I am an incredibly passionate builder & a second-year student of Systems Design Engineering. I love working in teams and have had two internships where I've been asked to collaborate with engineers, designers, and leadership to iterate on a product- one of which I pitched to X, the Moonshot Factory. On the side, I have experience with SQL, Python, Java, C++, and HTML from both project-based and academic settings. I love researching new fields, and I blog on the side whenever I read up on something interesting.

Adding Liquid Temperature Sensor to Product (Electrical Engineering)

Safi is a nonprofit initiative aimed at providing Kenyan herders with safe to drink milk. We are doing this by providing them with a pasteurization handle that pasteurizes your milk before consuming. The main goal for this project is to add a temperature sensor to the handle, so that it signals (through beep or colour or any suggestion) to a user when the milk has reached a certain temperature and pasteurization is completed. Our one pager can be found here: https://www.safi.world/_files/ugd/dc5ed8_2a5a097d96984942960aca70e6655695.pdf Our website is: https://www.safi.world
