About Me

I'm Div. I study Management Engineering at Waterloo but spend most of my time building things. Games, apps, bots, whatever sounds interesting that week. I also run track, play way too much soccer, and teach robotics to kids who are better at it than I was.

Right now

  • Building with LLMs and biometric data
  • Looking for Summer 2026 internships
