A brief summary about me.

Profile Picture

I'm a computer science graduate from the University of Manitoba and a member of the HCI-Lab. I'm currently seeking opportunities starting immediately in the field of Software Engineering, and Data Analytics.

Profile

In my thesis, I studied the significance of live stream chatboxes and explored the effects of using real-time summarization techniques. I developed a web application called Stream Assistant to enhance communication between streamers and viewers by providing streamers with real-time summarization of chatbox in the form of Emote ranking, word cloud and a live polling report.
