Prev infra @ AWS, CS and business dual degree student @ UBC.
I'm a Computer Science and Business dual-degree student at the University of British Columbia. This summer, I interned at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where I worked on infrastructure for AWS Step Functions. Whenever I am not at school or working, I've been building Halo, an AI executive assistant for individuals that proactively gets things done for you. More on this soon.
I'm a deeply technical person and I enjoy building, learning, and breaking things. I care about understanding how systems work and designing novel solutions to the problems I can't stop thinking about. Right now, I'm most interested in human-AI interaction and proactive AI assistants.
