Software Engineering @ University of Waterloo
About
I'm a Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I love building and am looking forward to getting my iron ring in 4 years! I have a particular interest in computer vision and backend systems. I'm also a huge Lord of the Rings fan, if it isn't obvious already.
