My name is Jasper St. Pierre. I'm a third year student at the University of Waterloo in the Faculty of Mathematics (Combinatorics and Optimization). I'm currently on an eight-month co-op term at Harled Inc. I love meeting new people so please don't hesitate to talk to me if you see me!
- Being around people keeps me energized, especially in person, but I do my best work when focused and alone. Sometimes if I got too distracted during the day I'll finish up work at home in the evening.
- I like to mentally map problems out and plan solutions in my head before putting it into code. I'll often forget to verbalise what I'm doing so if you're working with me and you're not sure what I'm doing, please ask!
- I enjoy when people challenge how I solved something, because when I think I have a good solution I tend to overlook even better solutions.
- I find it hard to focus when there's music playing out loud.
- Long meetings are super draining for me, so I'd appreciate it if I can get a "cooldown period" of around 10-15 mins before returning to work.
- Overall, I'm super flexible and can adapt to most circumstances, given proper notice!
- New AI/ML applications are always emerging and I'm super excited to see what's next!
- Video game / hobbyist gamedev (Horizon FW, NieR)
- Piano! (also guitar)
- Anime (Mob Psycho, A Place Further than the Universe)
- The ins and outs of Ruby on Rails at Harled Inc.
- OpenGL
- New piano songs :)
