Born and raised in Toronto, I went to school in Ontario at the University of Waterloo. I spent a summer working for Amazon in Vancouver, and a term studying in Singapore. I worked multiple co-op terms for different companies, and am always looking for new opportunities to broaden my horizons both professionally and in my personal life.
Growing up I loved math contests. I ran a club at my high school where we would go over sample questions from different math contests, and would work together to try and imrpove each others' scores in upcoming math contests. When I was introduced to programming competitions I was instantly won-over. I saw a future for me where I could use my problem solving skills and my mathematical mind. I saw that I could pursue a career in programming. So when university applications came a long I applied to all the best computer science programs, and the rest is in my resume.
