Hi all, I don't usually push changes here but if you have stumbled upon my site then I would like to thank you for stopping by! My name is Liam and I am a Canadian undergraduate student studying mathematics and computer science at Saint Mary's University in Nova Scotia, Canada.
I have recently accepted an offer for a summer internship at Efficiency One where I will be doing data science!
I'm interested in systems programming and programming language theory, and more recently I have been looking into data science and data engineering. More specifically, I enjoy learning about compilers, interpreters, and in general making higher level abstractions for writing programs in a way that I enjoy.
I have additional interests in combinatorics in which I was fortunate enough to take a course in, and in my free time I have been looking into some competitive programming and quantum computing. I also enjoy the study of natural languages, and I can communicate fluently in English and Japanese. More recently I have been thinking of tackling Cantonese in order to connect more with my family, and I am looking into studying for Mandarin Chinese's HSK 5 or 6 exam.
As for some other activities I do, I played high level soccer until late high school and continue to play recreationally. I also love to play badminton with my friends. Fun fact: I entered a badminton tournament in Japan and failed to win a single set in all of my matches. Regardless it remains one of my favorite memories.
