About Me
Welcome to my website!
I'm a Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo focused on low-latency systems and financial technology.
Currently, I am joining Coinbase as a SWE Intern on their Institutional Team where I hope to learn more about crypto exchanges. Outside work, I am deeply interested in competitive programming, concurreny, compilers, operating systems, and machine learning.

My Projects
A few of my projects — all on GitHub
A concurrent arbitrage trading engine written in Go that aggregates live order book data from multiple exchanges into a centralized Global Order Book to identify and execute profitable spread opportunities in real-time.
Highlights•Thread-safe order book•Real-time arbitrage execution•Live trading dashboard
Built a 95% accurate neural network to classify 12 types of cancer from microarray samples. Won the Canada-Wide Science Fair and represented Canada at the EU Contest for Young Scientists (2nd place).
Highlights•95% accuracy•Canada-Wide Science Fair Winner•$20K funding•Published to CSF Journal
Collaborative whiteboard that turns voice and video into structured diagrams in real-time. Powered by Gemini 2.0 Flash and AWS Amplify Gen 2 for spatially-aware, multimodal collaboration.
Highlights•AWS Campus Champions: Best Use of DynamoDB Streams @ Hack the North
Led a 5-person software team to develop a centralized government contracting platform. Built a fully responsive landing page and 10+ application pages using React with MUI and Tailwind CSS.
Highlights•5-person team lead•Centralized platform•AWS infrastructure
A startup that transforms speech into presentation slides live using AI. Fine-tuned GPT-3.5 and used DALL-E for image generation. Deployed to prsntai.com using Vercel.
Highlights•Live speech-to-slides•Fine-tuned GPT-3.5•Multi-framework implementation
Personal repo for ML/DL experiments: CPH survival models, decision trees, ResNet-50 saliency maps, and Kaggle code. Inspired by Hands-On Machine Learning.
Highlights•CPH survival models•Decision tree classifiers•ResNet-50 saliency maps•Kaggle competition code
Journey from Python to C++. Solutions and notes for major contests (AOC, CCC, USACO, CodeForces, etc.), plus scripts for stress-testing and code templates.
Highlights•Advent of Code, CCC, USACO, CodeForces, and more•Stress-testing scripts•Code templates (e.g., trie)•17th place in Canada (picoCTF 2022)
