About Me
Hey, I'm Miller, a software engineer in my third year at uOttawa. I'm currently learning more about developing AI technologies, and how people can dramatically increase efficiency and productivity in their daily life and work with it.
I have multiple years of practical work experience with full stack web, mobile app, and backend API development, and worked on various different tech stacks, from more modern ones (js frameworks) to enterprise level technologies (such as spring).
Outside of software engineering, I am also very interested in finance. I enjoy learning as much as I can about various financial instruments, strategies, and the underlying mechanics that drive markets, such as options pricing. Additionally, in my free time, I also spend some time reading company financials and making investments based on my research.
