As an enthusiast in innovative technologies and machine learning, I am thrilled to share my journey with you. On this website, you'll uncover my passion for machine learning, computer vision, along with a glimpse into my personal hobbies.
I am a C++ and Python software developer with a passion for solving complex problems and challenging the status quo. I specialize in automating solutions to enhance work efficiency and improve decision-making through innovative, future-focused system design. My expertise spans real-time streaming, sensor data analysis, image processing, and embedded systems development, and I am actively expanding my knowledge in Big Data, cloud-based solutions, and distributed systems.
While I enjoy honing my technical skills, my true excitement lies in building impactful and innovative solutions. Currently, I am working on autonomous driving algorithms, applying machine learning to solve real-world challenges. My interests span a wide range of topics, with a particular focus on the practical applications of AI and ML.
Since my undergraduate studies in Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo, I have been deeply passionate about computer vision and robotics perception. This passion led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto, where I specialized in machine learning and data analytics. During this time, I was very fortunate to explore the diverse applications of machine learning, solidifying my commitment to advancing technology through creativity and technical excellence.
