Biography
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, supervised by Khuzaima Daudjee. My research interests lie in deep learning, systems, cloud computing, and reinforcement learning. I am particularly interested in designing systems to improve the efficiency of DNN training on the cloud and optimizing systems with machine learning.
I received a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo in 2019. Previously, I was also an intern at Waabi, Uber ATG, Jane Street, LinkedIn, Yahoo, and OMERS Capital Markets.
