About
From the start of my high school career, I have been involved in computer engineering innovations and science fairs. I have competed at both Provincial and National level science fairs and won gold and bronze respectively. I have worked with researchers from my local university to develop my innovations and improve my skills in computer hardware and software. I also have a great interest for physics and math, winning multiple math contests and being in the UBC physics Olympics team for my school
