the short:
I’m Julian, a 1A freshman at the University of Waterloo where I’m studying Computing and Financial Management (CFM). My resume is here.
the long:
Over 6 years, I spent roughly 3,000 hours1 on public transit commuting to high school in downtown Toronto. During that time, I debated for the national team, did some ML research, wrote math contests, and met some amazing people. I became particularly interested in the intersection between the sciences and the humanities, namely the applications of computers to solve social problems.
More personal: I’m about as type A as it gets. I love food, and have been cooking for family and friends for 5 years. My room is inhabited by many stuffed animals— among them are a dog, a moose, and a big polar bear. I’ve been boxing inconsistently for about 2 years. My favourite author is Christopher Hitchens; favourite film is Catch Me If You Can; favourite show is Better Call Saul; favourite artist is NIKI; and my favourite place to be is here, right on your screen :)2
