// about
Hi, I'm Bryan.
I'm a Statistics & Computer Science student at the University of Toronto with a focus on machine learning and data systems. I love building things, especially the side projects that uncover random patterns in the intersections of my interests in sports, music, and ML.
Right now I'm wrapping up my engineering internship in the data org at Wattpad, and simultaneously building a computer vision tool to analyze tennis swing mechanics. The goal: make quality coaching feedback accessible to anyone with a phone.
Always looking for interesting problems and people to learn from. Whether it's ML, tennis, or house music, please reach out!

// interests
sports
Tennis · Hockey · Baseball
I play tennis as much as I can. It's where I release my competitive energy. Avid Canucks (but honestly I'd love for any Canadian team to win a cup) and Blue Jays fan when I'm not on the court.
music
DJing · Music Production · House
I produce and DJ mostly electronic music: deep house, tech house, drum and bass, and everything in between. There's a lot of overlap between engineering a set and engineering software.
building
Side Projects · ML · Computer Vision
Building random things is how I learn best. If I'm curious about something, I'll build a project around it, hence the tennis swing analysis tool.
