About me
I recently completed an M.Sc. in computer science at the University of British Columbia, where I was fortunate to be supervised by Dr. Bruce Shepherd. In January 2022, I will be starting a Ph.D. in combinatorics and optimization at the University of Waterloo. On the side, I make open source software for digitally processing audio and generating algorithmic music and visuals under the aliasbyte.observer. When not in front of a computer or whiteboard
I can usually be found rock climbing, foraging for mushrooms, cycling, snowboarding, hiking or cooking.
