Hobbies

Basketball – My favourite sport! Up until Grade 10, I played on rep teams competing at the provincial level in leagues like Ontario Basketball League (OBL), Coalition Basketball League (CBL), and North Pole Hoops (NPH).

Music – It's one of my favourite pastimes. I enjoy a variety of genres spanning from R&B to indie-pop.

Tinkering with hardware – I've built lots of fun projects with Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, and other sorts of PCBs. Some of which include an audio tone control circuit and motion detector.
