About Me
I'm a 2nd year Computer Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Most of my work has been in web development and desktop applications, though I've also spent time with Linux, embedded systems and robotics, notably First Robotics.
I've picked up a handful of languages and frameworks along the way, starting first with C in CS50. Personally, I enjoy building things that are neat and/or solve problems in my day-to-day, no matter how small.
I also like getting to understand how existing technology works from cryptocurrency to GPS, and even planes, it's all pretty cool engineering. In fact, some of my favorite Youtube channels (which you should totally check out) include Veritasium, Jared Owen, and Real Engineering.
Outside of school and projects, I like learning new languages (I'm trilingual!), playing the piano, reading, and writing. I’m planning to start posting on Medium soon, explaining new fun facts I've learned as simply as I can in writing!
