Hi! I'm Yang Yang, a 3rd year Electrical and Computer Engineering (EngSci) student at the University of Toronto who likes to build and ship new ideas fast. I'm interested in learning about and solving challenging problems related to AI, embedded systems, chip design, and robotics.
I also enjoy basketball, weightlifting, F1, chess, puzzles like sudoku & other NYT games, watching movies & TV shows (currently watching S3 of the Mentalist), and reading.
