ABOUT_ME.TXT

I'm Tim — a math student at the University of Waterloo with a deep interest in building software that sits at the intersection of AI and full-stack engineering.

Currently studying at Waterloo, I spend my time building software at the intersection of AI and full-stack engineering. Most recently I interned at AMD architecting AI-powered tools that transform how teams work, and earlier built testing infrastructure at Ford Motor Company.

Outside of work, I'm exploring the edges of what's possible with LLMs, real-time systems, and developer tooling. I also enjoy reading books and web novels (RoyalRoad) in my spare time. Hope you enjoy this little section about me!
