I'm a Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo,
currently in my 3A term. I work at
Zynga Inc. as a SWE intern on the Platform Machine Learning team.
Most of my experience is in backend and infra.
I also previously worked at Zynga as an intern on the Poker team, where
I developed performant backend systems in Go/gRPC for Zynga Poker, the world's
biggest Poker game with millions of monthly users.
Some of my work includes revamping the app's rewards microservice, improving P95 response time for 79
million transactions by up to 11%, every single day.
Before that, I conducted ML research under Dr. Olga Vechtomova at the NLP Lab in UWaterloo, where I assisted
in the
development of a generative model that creates lyrics + music from videos of dance as input. During my first
internship at ArenaX Labs, I worked on
a mix of the above—I designed a GAN to generate new game states to train a server encoder/decoder, and
worked on the app's RESTful APIs in Express.js.
On my own,
I love going to hackathons and building whenever I can. Recently, I was a recipient of the top prize at
Hack the North 2023, Canada's biggest hackathon, and received 1st Place with my team at HackWestern.
