About Me

I am a fourth year student at the University of Waterloo, majoring in Combinatorics & Optimization, Computer Science, and Pure Mathematics.

In high school, I enjoyed participating in competitive programming contests.

Outside of academics, I spend a lot of time at the gym (chest day is my favorite). I also love hiking, if you suggest a trail, I'll always be up for it. My current bench press PR is 265 lbs. I enjoy almost every sport, with the exception of climbing, American football, and baseball.
