Software & Machine Learning Engineer
About
Hi, I'm Edwin! I'm a product-focused software engineer that loves shipping things fast without compromising on craftsmanship, currently building software for private markets at AngelList. Previously, I worked on voice AI at Vapi, AI therapy at Slingshot, and recommender systems at Quora.
I graduated with a degree in computer science from the University of Waterloo. During my studies, I interned at Shopify, LinkedIn, and Databricks, and was also involved in undergrad research, where I led NLP and information retrieval projects under the supervision of Jimmy Lin.
On the side, I built, and now maintain UW Flow, a course and professor review platform for the University of Waterloo with 25,000+ monthly active users.
I'm inspired by well-designed products, machines that can learn, nature, dogs, music, and playing underwater hockey.
