Large-scale gardening:
This is sort of an overview of one of my hobbies before Mechatronics.
It is actually here where I developed my interest in diverse electromechanical systems and technology, as I will mention below.
As I was growing up, I had a strong sense of curiosity, which led me to explore various hobbies. One of these hobbies was gardening, which also was considered a necessity. The pictures are a few examples of the bountiful harvests I produced over the years. As you can see, I started when I was quite young. Gardening taught me a lot of valuable lessons, and it was a lot of fun. However, lately, I have decided to focus more on my career in Mechatronics.
Gardening often involves equipment such as rototillers, mowers, tractors (not shown here), etc. Quite often this equipment would need maintenance or need to be repaired. One time I had to replace the crankshaft in the engine for the red rototiller in the pictures. Or, one time when the green lawn tractor's throttle was acting up, this led to extensive troubleshooting and researching, where I determined that one of the carburetor's butterfly wings was loose, which was an easy fix.
This is where I developed an interest in troubleshooting and working with electromechanical systems, etc., and technology.
I have always been fascinated by the process of how plants grow, so I decided to grow all the plants in my garden from seed. I enjoyed watching them grow every day. Growing plants from seed not only helped me to develop an intuition for plants but also taught me how to develop an intuition for things I was interested in, such as mechatronics.
Here are a few pictures of my plants out in the garden planted.
