About Me
Hey 👋
I am an engineering graduate from UBC with a major in biomedical engineering and concentration in bioinformatics. I have an avid interest in all things medicine but a particular interest in deep learning, medical imaging, and translational research. I am currently a software developer at Aspect Biosystems and a lab member at the Stemcell Bioengineering Laboratory.
