Introduction
Overview.
As a Computer Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, I am passionate about learning and applying the latest developments in the IT industry. I am expected to graduate in 2024 with a BASc. degree
I have gained valuable experience and skills through my co-op placements, especially as a Technical Account Manager Intern at AWS, where I built a serverless solution using various AWS services, such as API Gateway, Lambda, SQS, and DynamoDB, and reduced the cost by 70%. I also have an interest in embedded software development, which I explored as a Research Assistant and an Associate Member at the Waterloo Aerial Robotics Group, using technologies such as STM32 HAL, C++, Python, and Raspberry Pi.
I am an aspiring software engineer who is always looking for opportunities to grow my knowledge and make a positive impact on society. I have a keen interest in cloud computing and management roles, and I would love to talk about my work in greater detail or any opportunity to work in these fields. I am currently seeking new grad roles.
