Combined Major in Computer Science and Business, Bachelor's Degree
Sep 2020 - Dec 2024 | University of British Columbia
Hello, I'm Paige! I am entering my fifth year studying Computer Science and Business (the BUCS program)
at the University of British Columbia. I was President of the
UBC BizTech Club to bridge the gap between business, technology, and
students. I am now on the competitive programming club at UBC, Algorithmic Contest Monkeys,
and volunteering as a workshop facilitator for GIRLSmarts4Tech to teach young girls how to code.
I have developed an interest in software engineering and machine learning
through my several internships and hackathon competitions. I will be graduating in December 2024.
I have years of experience in software engineering through my internships, university courses, and personal projects. Check out my recent software projects here!
I have a strong interest in training machine learning models while understanding the inherent biases and trade-offs associated with different algorithms such as model performance and interpretability.
Combining my technical skills with my business experience, I enjoy leading the development of a product with a strong focus on the customer.
Through various leadership roles, I have learned effective ways to lead a team towards a goal while ensuring the project stays on time, on budget, and meets the needs of all stakeholders.
