About

Hi! I'm Megan Tran, a junior at Harvey Mudd College studying engineering and media studies. I love making things with my hands from woodworking and embroidery to electronics and small DIY projects.

I’m interested in:

Engineering biomedical devices
Open-source technology
Bridging STEM and the humanities

Outside of tech, I love cooking, baking, hiking, listening to music, and watching movies.

2nd Place Medtronic Hackathon, Cardiovascular Track

I placed second at the Medtronic Hackathon as part of Team Flow State building Arteria. Our concept builds upon Medtronic’s MyCareLink platform by introducing new features that empower patients with greater access to their health data, helping them better understand their condition, take proactive steps toward healthier habits, and strengthen communication with their care teams.
