hi! i'm umar.

I recently completed an Honours B.A.Sc. in Computer Science at McMaster University. My interests are primarily in machine learning, robotics, and autonomous systems.

I began coding in 2013 and have loved it ever since. My hobbies include shooting film, listening to music, playing classical guitar, and solving hard problems with code.

Most recently, I completed a 12-month research co-op at Huawei's Noah's Ark Lab, where I worked on end-to-end motion planning for autonomous driving.
