About me
I'm a graduate student pursuing a Master of Mathematics in Computer Science at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, fortunate to be supervised by Professor Bernard Wong . I also completed my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Waterloo. My research interests are in distributed systems and computer networks, particularly in exploring ways to build scalable, efficient, and reliable systems.
Fun fact: During my undergrad, I attempted to transfer to CS 6 times from Honours Maths starting in my 1B term, and finally got in after 3A! Woohoo!
