Hi! I'm an 18-year-old uwaterloo cs student. I've won 7 hackathons, previously worked as an mle @ sentra (a16z), designed humanoid robots for UWRL at 16, did research for wat.ai on object state understanding, and carried a 99% average in high school. I am currently a co-founder of arctic autonomy, a dual-use maritime logistics company, and waterloo defence, a defence-centred design team at waterloo. Outside of work I love motorcycles, philosophy, and meeting new people!
