About Me
I'm a passionate full-stack developer and a first year Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Having worked an AI co-op and built multiple AI projects, I particularly enjoy the field of ML and back-end work.
When I'm not coding, you can find me learning a new language, playing piano & guitar, or reading about global culture & history. I have a particular interest in cultures and languages around the world, currently speaking various levels of Arabic, French, Japanese (and a bit of Mandarin). I also enjoy enjoy public speaking and politics, having taken part in Model UN throughout high school.
