Welcome to my GitHub! I'm a Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo passionate about building scalable systems, data platforms, and applied machine learning solutions.

• 🎓 Software Engineering @ University of Waterloo (Class of 2026)
• 🧠 Interested in data platforms, machine learning systems, and scalable infrastructure
• ⚙️ Experienced building large-scale data pipelines and backend systems in industry environments
• 🔬 Researching computer vision and sequence modeling for sports analytics
• 🏎 Working on F1Tenth autonomous racing systems in undergraduate research

Transition-Constrained Sequence Modeling for Fine-Grained Skating Action Recognition

• Developed methods for fine-grained hockey skating action recognition
• Adapted Global Attention Pooling (GAP) techniques for skeleton-based sports datasets
• Focus on temporal sequence modeling and transition-constrained decoding

F1Tenth Autonomous Racing

• Developing autonomous racing systems using:
  • SLAM
