Microsoft’s Imagine Cup 2012
The Imagine cup is a student technology competition in which students from all around the world attempt the challenge of global change.
Three fellow IEEE student branch members and I have decided to compete as a team in the Software Design component of the competition. Our team name is Team Sync.
All other facts relating to our submission for the competition must remain secret until later in the competition.

Algorithmic Challenges / Competitive Programming
When I joined the University of Waterloo, I was introduced to programming competitions that focused on problem solving and algorithms by my roommate (who is quite good at them).
Since then, I have completed questions on online judge sites such as Codeforces, Project Euler, UVa, and SPOJ.
I have also competed in a few programming competitions (I will be trying to increase this number), including IEEE’s Xtreme 24 Hour Programming Competition as well as a few online Codeforces competitions.
I currently save all of my programming solutions in a private github repository. There are no plans as of yet to make the repository public, though I have not entirely dismissed the idea. Commit information for this repository can be found on the homepage under Github Feed.
Project365
Project365 is taking one photo every day for a consecutive three hundred and sixty five days (~1 Year).
I’ll be in Seattle, WA for the first four months of 2012, so I thought it would be a great way of documenting my adventures. I also think that it’ll be a neat way of visualizing a year of my life once we reach 2013 :P.
Since I probably will not be bringing my SLR out with me everyday, the majority of the photos will be from my phone’s camera (iPhone 4). I’ll try my best to upload one photo everyday, but I might just keep them stored on my computer and update this photo blog once a week. It all depends on how busy I am.
Blog / Personal Website
Quite honestly, I’ve been neglecting this webpage. I have dozens of topics that I wish to talk about in blog posts, yet I just can’t seem to find a window of time in which to write them.
As I am being pressured to update this site from multiple sources (heh), I’ll try and get a blog post or two out every month or two. There are a other few things that I’ve been meaning to add to this site (this page was one of them).
Public TODO:
Upgrade to the latest version of Hakyll (There have been extensive changes)
Blogs Posts (various topics)
Site Redesign (?)
Resume
Co-op Experiences (blog posts perhaps)
Expository Pieces (blog posts again, maybe)
