About

Hello! My name is Kiarash, and I'm a computer science undergraduate at the University of Toronto, St. George campus, Victoria College. My main academic interests are programming languages and compilers, operating systems, computer systems, and machine learning. I enjoy working on low-level software like the Linux kernel, system-specific drivers, and generally just ricing the OS to my liking. When I'm not doing CS, I'm probably writing poems/songs/stories, or skateboarding outside (if it's not freezing) :D
