welcome
i'm cindy, a fourth year computer science student at the university of waterloo who loves learning and building things relating to software, ml, and data.
right now, i'm focused on learning about ai agents at skyvern (yc25) and leading an automated ml weather forecasting project for wat.ai. broadly speaking, i'm interested in swe/ml/mlops and i'm always looking for ways to expand my knowledge.
previously, i interned at shopify working on recommendation systems infrastructure, and at spire global on various swe and ml-based weather prediction work. at spire, i was nominated for the 2025 co-op student of the year - and i went on to win the honourable mention.
outside of tech, i'm building a second brain in obsidian, grinding my chess elo (1700), and running local races. feel free to reach out to me.
