About me
Hello everyone! My name is Frank, and I'm a Computing + Financial Management student at the University of Waterloo. I'm eager to learn more about building projects using CS, and how it can be used to connect to the financial industry. I also take part in any case competitions that come up, so you might see me at one from time to time. In my free time, I enjoy playing piano, badminton, and spending time with friends. I'm always down for a quick game of badminton if you reach out :) That's all for now, I'm looking forward to the rest of my Waterloo journey!

Education
Computing and Financial Management
In my program, I learn coding from the David Cheriton school of Computer Science, as well as fundamental finance knowledge from the School of Accounting and Finance. CFM combines both of these skills, teaching me to use knowledge of both Finance and CS to build meaningful, real-world projects that can be used in markets.
Graduate of the International Baccalaureate Program
For two years, I've studied under the IB program, taking rigorous courses like High Level Mathematics and Economics to enhance both my problem-solving and understanding of global markets. The IB program pushed me to maximize my capabilities through hard work and dedication, and the results were well worth it.
