I am a Master's student in my first year at Western University, studying covariant loop quantum gravity, with a specialization in scientific computing. I have written a Python package for general relativity, OGRePy, and a research project on wormhole time machines and multiple histories. I am passionate about cryptography and cyber security, data science, high performance computing, and software development. I am currently looking for a co-op position in 2023.
I initially attended the University of Guelph for my first 3 semesters of undergrad, before I decided to take a year off and move back home. I am now attending Brock University, with plans to graduate in the spring of 2022. I am now currently enrolled at Western University for my Master's degree.
I have always loved learning; growing up I was always one to ask why and how things worked. To me, programming is a never ending journey of learning new and unique ways to solve problems. I love the feeling of accomplishment when I finally get a program to work, and the excitement of learning a new language or framework. I also love the creativity that comes with programming; I love being able to take an idea and turn it into a reality.
Success. A word that suggests happiness, prosperity, and ultimately the accomplishment of your dreams. To me though, success is much less of a 'thing' than it is a 'journey'; it is about setting concrete goals and working everyday to achieve them, never letting yourself give up if you ever get stuck. The most important part of success is then believing you can achieve whatever you put your mind to!
I have honestly enjoyed all of the subjects I've had the opportunity to learn about thus far; however if I had to choose a couple, Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity have been among my favourites. I've also really enjoyed Scientific Computing projects that I've worked on throughout my undergrad.
I have found a passion for programming, and am currently working on learning the fundamentals of cyber security, data science, and machine learning. I would like to pursue a career in the field of cyber security or data science in the future, to make a difference in the ever changing world of technology.
I consider myself to be proficient in Python, C++, and of course LaTeX, although I do know rudimentary amounts of Javascript, Java, HTML, and Markdown. I am also familiar with Mathematica as well as Maple.
