I am John Krzystowczyk, a student at Michigan State University pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Technology Systems Management (TSM). Growing up in Troy, Michigan, with my family, I developed a passion for sustainable practices, alternative energy, and innovative building design. I participated in a study abroad program in Australia focused on sustainable energy systems. My interests lie in automation, GIS, and renewable energy. I aim to apply my skills to address environmental challenges and explore career opportunities in energy systems and sustainable design.
