Software Engineer & Visual Artist • Computer Engineering @ University of Waterloo • Toronto, Canada
About
I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a love for mathematics and computer science. My interests lie heavily in machine learning and computer vision, and med tech. When I'm not making projects, doing hackathons, or schoolwork, I like to indulge myself in visual art, whether it's drawing, painting, or even origami.
