Hello I'm Jake
I have always strived to have a positive impact on the people around me. I’m aware of the impact of my actions and how I may be able to use my learning to enrich the lives of others. During high school I accumulated 160 volunteer hours helping with summer camps for 5 to 10-year-olds at a nearby nature centre. These camps help to teach kids to respect nature at an early age, which I believe to be important.
Technology has always been a fascination for me but I consider myself to be a well rounded person. Aside from my coding I play Piano and also love history, drama and philosophy.
I love hackathons and had the privilege of being invited to Hack the North at the University of Waterloo in 2022 and 2023 where I was able to attend workshops on a variety of topics including ML and NLPs, as well as Web3
In 2022 I worked with fellow hackers to create and submit a party style guess the AI game using Co:here's NLP API. In 2023 we developed a series of mini games using eye tracking technology to detect blinks.
The 2022 project was shortlisted for award for best use of Co:here's API
