I don't always prepare talks for conferences, but when I do, I find meme twins.

Education
-
University of Waterloo
Activities and Societies: Electronics Lead - Waterloo Formula Motorsports, Vehicle Dynamicist - Waterloo Baja SAE, Fullback - Waterloo Warriors Rugby
Inside the control systems lab I studied advanced controls, autonomous mobile robotics, non linear systems and 3D computer vision.
Two of my favorite projects are a 3D scanning android app, and a multi robot coordination algorithm based on predictive motion estimation.
My research thesis was on power systems for small scale electronics and IoT devices. -
Activities and Societies: Biomedical Engineering Students' Society (BMESS), Schulich Racing, Schulich Off Road, Mechanical Engineering Students' Society (MESS)
Focused in mechatronics with a passion for control systems. I also built a lot of race cars. Check out Schulich Racing (https://www.facebook.com/schulichracing/) and Schulich Offroad (https://www.facebook.com/schulich.offroad)
I'm also a biomedical engineer with work experience in modelling muscle activation and processing EMG signals. Don't ask me too much about cell biology though, I do digital signal processing. Check out the Neurophysiology Lab run by Jamie Johnston, PhD. -

"The best way to understand artificial intelligence is to study actual intelligence."
-Somebody, probably
I am always excited to learn how things work and gaining a better understanding of the human brain from the neuron up has been invaluable.

Wrote software simulations to analyze the frequency content in muscle motor neurons. The goal is to see how a command signal propagates from the central nervous system to different muscle motor units to control complex physical motions of the forearm and hand.

Redis is the second fastest-growing software vendor this quarter. Being the fastest Vector Database in the world makes a difference.
