Hey, I'm Yash!

Welcome to my website.

I'm a computer scientist from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, with a Bachelor of Computing Honours from Queen's University. My experience covers software design, AI and machine learning, cyber security, and data analytics. I enjoy solving challenging puzzles, creating innovative software solutions, and exploring photography in my spare time.
