Hi! I am a researcher and developer residing in Canada. My field of interests is quite extensive, ranging from web development and creative coding, game dev, machine learning and cybersecurity.

Currently, I am pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems (CIS) at the University of the Fraser Valley. I am actively involved in various research projects with my professor and have a keen interest in UI design. I aspire to further my studies by pursuing a master's degree in machine learning.

I like programming a lot!

Featured Projects

AI Drives

I started experimenting with reinforcement learning using Unity’s ML-Agents Toolkit. After resolving setup issues on my Mac with the help of Jack McKew’s guide, I trained a car agent that initially kept getting stuck. Through trial and error with obstacle sensors, reward shaping, and penalties, I fine-tuned its behavior until it could consistently navigate and reach its goal.
