+ About Me
+Hello! My name is Robert Heaton and I am
+ an undergraduate Mechatronics Engineer from Preston, England, and I am
+ currently studying at the University of
+ Manchester. I have always enjoyed electronics and embedded systems,
+ developing a liking for robotics and autonomous systems in my first
+ year of study, thus becomming naturally enthralled by the field of
+ mechatronics. I enjoy reading, jigsaws, history, electronics projects,
+ shooting, poetry, video games, rock-climbing, video editing,
+ and wood and metal working.
+
+
+ It is my philosophy that any system can be improved and any problem
+ overcome. I beleieve that any individual, big or small, can have a
+ huge impact and
+ should strive to better themselves and their environment.
+ It is very important that a modern engineer is ethical
+ in thier work and operates sustainably, and so this is always a
+ consideration of mine when undertaking any work. To myself, the role
+ of
+ an engineer therefore involves applying scientific principles in a
+ consciensious manner with the purpose to better mankind.
+
+
+ I consider myself a natural leader and enjoy working on projects,
+ whether in a group or in an individual scope. Others would consider
+ me a good listener and strong decision maker capable of action or
+ caution depending on whichever the situation calls for. I am good
+ at delegating work to people's strengths, and am not afraid to seek
+ advise on subjects that are not my speciality. I often like to
+ automate repative tasks and experiment with using mechatronics to
+ optimise processes around me, drawing inspiration from personal
+ experience and a vision of what can be. I am always trying to learn
+ new things, such as the HTML and CSS required to build this site!
