My Journey
I'm Tyrone Iras Marhguy, born on November 24, 2003, in Ghana. I'm a triplet with two sisters, Nikita and Amrita. My journey has been shaped by resilience, faith, and an unwavering commitment to education and technical innovation.
Engineering Roots & Family Inspiration — Growing up as a triplet, I shared a lifelong connection with my two sisters, rooted in a fascination with wind energy and rockets. My father, a mechanical engineer specializing in wind generators, gave us a front‑row seat to the mechanics of armature coils, neodymium magnets, and wind turbines. His work inspired me to dive into hands‑on projects from an early age.
First Engineering Project: Wind Generator Motor — In grade 7 (Junior High School 1, Ghana), I designed and built a functional wind generator motor. This endeavor took weeks of coil rewinding and hunting for short circuits, among other challenges. This early introduction to engineering made me hungry for problem‑solving and innovation.
Resourcefulness & Hands‑On Learning — Life in Ghana taught me to make the most of limited resources. I taught myself to repair broken radios, built an AC/DC rectifier, and even crafted tools like a makeshift screwdriver by shaping wood nails with a stone. These experiences developed my critical thinking and creativity and gave me a deep appreciation for hands‑on engineering.
From Ghana to UPenn — Despite facing significant challenges, I've learned that determination and principle can overcome any obstacle, and that technical excellence combined with strong values creates lasting impact. My journey from building wind generators in Ghana to studying Computer Engineering at UPenn represents the culmination of years of passion, resilience, and hands‑on learning.
