About Me

I'm a Civil Engineering student at the University of Waterloo

In my career I am looking to use technology to help develop and maintain the infrastructure that we need to live out our daily lives. I am currently researching the applications of machine learning in hydrology at the University of Waterloo, and am looking to continue doing this at the graduate level.

I am very interested in both technology and infrastructure. I would love to chat with anyone who has an interest in either of these sectors, so please feel free to reach out!

My Hobbies and Interests

Rubiks Cube Speedsolving

I'm an avid Rubik's Cube speedsolver. I began competing in 2014, and was able to achieve a single solve time of 6.49 seconds in competition which gave me a top 10 ranking in Canada. Now I enjoy volunteering to help run compeitions.

Basketball

Basketball is my favourite sport, and I currently play on an Intramural team at UW. I watch the Toronto Raptors play whenever I get the chance!

Music

I have been playing the cello for around nine years and have enjoyed the ability to play in orchestras and quartets during that time.

Innovation

I am interested in innovation, especially within engineering. I am part of the Hyperloop design team at Waterloo, and am excited to have the opportunity to work on this team to make Hyperloop a feasible form of transportation.
