• Quantized multiple vision-based networks and prevented performance degradation through Quantized Aware Training and layer-by-layer accuracy debugging, ensuring under 1% performance difference
• Studied popular vision network architectures and their layers to support future quantization goals

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

• Worked on placement and routing heuristic functions, increased routing algorithm efficiency by 30%
• Designed a visualization tool to provide an understanding of on-chip placement and allow for real-time edits and updated performance evaluations to assess potential validity in various placement hypotheses

Toronto, Canada Area

• Worked in a team to designed and programmed a finite state machine used to guide a pod through a hyperloop track. Written using object-oriented C++ programming
• Worked with microcontrollers such as Arduinos Unos to access pod data to inform the finite state machine.

Toronto, Canada Area

• Learned and utilized various image processing tools such as convolutions, kernel design, segmentation methods such as kMeans, and keypoint identification methods such as SIFT, Harris, and Laplacian of Gaussian
• Designed an algorithm to detect presumptuous macrophages in retinal scans with an accuracy of a trained professional while achieving a 10x increase in efficiency through the use and analysis of various spacial filters
• Verified the algorithm using anonymous patient data as well as computer-generated data through the use of a forward modeling program created by myself.

• Was pretty fun:)
• Actively monitored safety conditions in multiple neighborhood pools and coordinated social pool events for patrons
• Maintained the quality of pools through consistent pool cleaning cycles and managed chemical levels via the pool pump system to supply necessary chlorine and fresh water

• Worked as the director of finance in a student-run charity club that worked under Me to WE
• Created budgets for events and managed the money raised
• Also used surveys and collected data from participants to determine methods of minimizing costs and optimizing profit and money raised
• Collected over $1,500 for charity over the term and raised over 2000 cans of nonperishable food, delivered to Eden Food Banks
