Waterloo CS Student - Programmer - Mathematician - Problem Solver
About Me
I'm 19 years old and in my third year of a double major in Computer Science and
Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo.
I've had two internships since beginning my university career. The first was as a
Software Developer Intern at the Google Kitchener-Waterloo office where I worked on the
Inbox Smartmail team to improve smartmail integration with third party calendars.
For my second internship, I worked as an undergraduate combinatorics researcher at the
University in Waterloo. I studied enumeration under Professor Ian Goulden and
participated in the IPCO and CUMC math conferences.
I'm an avid problem solver and enjoy competing in math and programming
contests. Outside of school, I enjoy being active, playing Go, and volunteering.
Projects
Fiora The Explorer
Fiora The Explorer is a Java game that I created with Jonah Haber in 2013 that is intended to help users learn French. The game has 3 levels, 3 difficulty modes, a practice mode and high scores. Furthermore, the game comes with help files, Java documentation, and a complete installer.
Differential Graphs
Differential Graphs is a Java program that I made in January 2015 to graph first-order differential equations. The program is capable of parsing inputted differential equations and graphs them using Euler's method. The program also has full Java documentation.
Problem Writer
My passion for competitive programming has led me to become a problem writer
for the JDCC and ECOO contests. As a problem writer, I prepare a series of
programming challenges that contestants need to solve in the span of three
hours. The problems cover topics such as Dynamic Programming, Graph Theory,
Combinatorics, and Data Structures.
The JDCC Contest is a programming contest
hosted at my former high school William Lyon Mackenzie C.I. The contest is held
monthly during the school year and over 100 students compete.
Link To Problems
The ECOO Contest is an annual contest in
which over 400 teams from high schools across Ontario compete. The contest
consists of three stages: Board, Regional, and Provincial, with the final round
being hosted at York University.
