What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in machine learning and data science, ideally in a collaborative environment that values creativity and continuous learning.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computing Science at the University of Alberta, where I have consistently achieved academic excellence, including being on the Dean’s Honors Roll. My passion for machine learning and artificial intelligence has driven me to engage in various research and practical projects, allowing me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems.

As a Research Assistant at the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute, I designed a formal verification framework for differential privacy in machine learning systems, contributing to a first-author paper. My internship at Al-Futtaim Group allowed me to streamline HR workflows and develop predictive models, showcasing my ability to leverage data science tools effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments, as demonstrated by my successful projects like DriveSafe and Campus Eats, where I utilized various technologies to create impactful applications.
