Diego Armstrong

Hello and welcome to my personal website! My name is Diego and I am in my third year of Environmental Engineering at the University of British Columbia. I am a hardworking and dedicated individual with a passion for sustainability and leveraging technology to find innovative solutions for a greener future.

Currently, I am an embedded software member and driver of UBC's Solar racing team, a private-tutor teaching kids and teenagers a wide range of academic subjects, and a full time student in environmental engineering at the University of British Columbia.

When it comes to my professional journey, I believe that my soft skills have played a vital role in shaping who I am today. Having grown up actively participating in my community and engaging in various extracurricular activities, I've developed a strong set of social, teamwork, and leadership skills. Whether it was captaining my high school flag football team, playing sports throughout my childhood, or volunteering in dance performances, retirement homes, or Chemical Engineering labs, I've always sought opportunities to connect with others and make a positive impact.

Outside of school and work, I enjoy creating IoT projects, boxing, playing video games, running, music production, reading, skiing, skateboarding, chess, hiking, scuba diving, and most of all, spending time with family and friends.

Some fun facts about myself: I have been to 70 different countries, I was once ranked 19th in the world in Overwatch, I am very double jointed, I've ran the BMO Vancouver Marathon, I am a second degree black belt in Shotokan karate, I speak English, French, and Spanish, and I am half Panamanian, half Scottish.
