I’m Andy Ku, a hands-on engineering professional based in Toronto with a background in electrical and information engineering. My work focuses on interactive products, electromechanical prototypes, embedded systems, robotics, computer vision, and rapid fabrication.

I enjoy turning early ideas into functional prototypes — from defining the concept and checking technical feasibility, to designing the system architecture, selecting components, building the prototype, testing, troubleshooting, and improving the design.

In my current role as an Engineering Project Instructor, I design and develop interactive STEM toys, robotics platforms, and engineering prototypes that combine hands-on learning with engaging play-based experiences. Many of these projects have been adopted into engineering and robotics curricula, and I have helped guide student teams through award-winning engineering projects, including Toronto Science Fair Gold Award projects and Canada-Wide Science Fair qualifiers.

My strongest interest is product development for interactive physical products — especially projects that combine mechanical design, embedded electronics, software, sensors, and user experience. I’m especially drawn to consumer products, toys, educational technology, and prototyping environments where ideas need to move quickly from concept to working demonstration.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, playing baseball, and experimenting with small interactive builds. Cooking taught me to care about the experience people have with what I make, while baseball keeps me grounded in teamwork, consistency, and continuous improvement.
