A bit more...

I've also competed in 40+ hackathons. My favourite hacks are simple, but meaningful:

• A player matchmaker using 3d signal processing (HackMIT 2022, sponsor prize)
• An AI-powered note-taker for my family physician (Hack The North 2019, sponsor prize)
• An arcade fighter game controlled by a glove (THacks 2017, 3rd place)

I also led the AI subteam for UWaterloo's neurotechnology design team

and tried to make a few companies:

• BitSwap: An exchange for BitClout and Ethereum, featured in NYT, once valued at $10M
• A GenAI startup to build presentations / marketing content for startups

I've written about some of my favourite puzzles on medium:

• Jane Street Puzzle June '20
• Breaking the Nimbus Cipher

I really love stories (books, anime, manhwa/webtoon) 📖, climbing 🧗 and swimming 🏊!

Some of my favourite manhwa/webtoon/manga (in no particular order 🤭):

• Sweet Home
• Flow
• Tower of God
• Arma, My Deepest Secret, Purple Hyacinth, Hand Jumper, Hero Killer, Eleceed, unOrdinary, Code Adam, The Greatest Estate Developer (not a fan of the MC, but still funny), Hero Has Returned
• Kagurabachi, Boruto (*just the manga!*), Apothecary Diaries, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

I love reading new stories, so please share your favourites!
