I want to make things
that make a difference.
About
Ambitious computer science student with a passion for software design, data structures and algorithms.
I am a fourth year computer science student at McMaster University with over 12 months of professional software engineering experience, 12 months of teaching assistant experience in professional academia and 12 months of research experience. I am passionate about artificial intelligence and its applications in the health, financial and e-commerce sectors. I spend much of my free time working on side projects and I am continually learning about new technologies.
