A beautiful face

Hi, I'm Charles!

Currently tinkering with RAGs and performing magic at @Census
Future SWE intern at @Your Company
Previously @CertiK and @On Deck

I'm a 4th year computer science specializing in SWE, AI, and business at the University of Waterloo.

I love collaborating in teams to create high-quality and sophisticated software.
I build mostly in TS & Python with strong competences in React, Node, GraphQL, PyTorch, and SQL dbs, though I'm always excited to flex my other muscles.

I'm currently in SF, hosting a group house with 13 residents in Hayes Valley where we're hacking a ton & maxxing out on shinanigans.

Skills

Though I'm always excited to use the latest and greatest technologies, these are my tried and tested go to tools when building any project.

Experience

I've had the honour of working at these amazing companies. Hopefully your company will be there too.
