    About Me

    Hello! I'm a fourth year computer science student at the University of Waterloo. I most recently built Pinecone's Rust SDK and worked with embedding models at Microsoft. My focus is currently in AI/ML, and I thrive on tackling interesting challenges and learning new things.

    Here are some languages and technologies that I use:

    • Python
    • Rust
    • C++
    • JavaScript/Typescript
    • React, Express

    Outside of academics, I regularly play badminton and participate in chamber ensembles as a cellist. I love to marvel at cool website and product design from time to time, as well as dabble in creative hobbies like transcribing and recording music. Check out my MuseScore and BandLab!

    I also love to attend hackathons! I placed as a finalist with my team at Hack the North 2021, Canada's Biggest Hackathon. Visit my Devpost for some of my latest hacks.
