About Me
I am a passionate Software Engineer and Machine Learning Researcher. I am currently a 3rd year Computer Science student studying at the University of Waterloo specializing in Artificial Intelligence. I am also persuing a major in Combinatorics & Optimization and a minor in Economics.
Outside of work and school, I am a fingerstyle guitar player, and music is considered one of my second languages. I don't understand it all the time, but I enjoy the beauty of it, just like French to me, which is the language I plan to learn next :) I also spend much time working on side projects to learn new technologies and experiment with my crazy ideas.
Experience
Replicant AI
