I graduated with an Honours BA in English (2005) and an Honours BSc in Computer Science (2009) from Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU).
While at WLU, I worked as an academic mentor and supplemental instruction leader for Study Skills department from 2007-2009, where I led informal study and extra-help sessions for courses in mathematical proofs, calculus, linear algebra, introductory programming, algorithms, and data structures.
I received a National Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Undergraduate Student Research Award in 2008 to conduct research under Dr. Angèle Hamel into statistical disclosure attacks against anonymous networks.
I also worked as an undergraduate research assistant in the Biomechanics lab at WLU, where I worked on modernizing and updating C++ code for gait analysis that was targeted at the SHARCNET high-performance computing cluster.
I currently work as a C++/Python Software Developer at Research In Motion in Waterloo, Ontario.
I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.
