About

I'm constantly looking for ways to grow and develop my abilities, and enjoy finding elegant solutions to novel problems. My main interests lie in signal processing, software design, and music. I am a graduate of the Engineering Science program at the University of Toronto, majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and am currently working as a software engineer for a young cryptographic company.
