Hi, I'm Pirooz, a University of Toronto undergraduate student doing a double major in Computer Science and Cognitive Science.
Over the past couple of years, I've gained experience in a few areas of Computer Science, ranging from creating a Convolution Neural Network in Python for a research paper under Professor Matthias Niemeier to front-end web development with Nuance Communications, a subsidiary of Microsoft. So far, it's been a fun experience, but it feels like something is missing. I have a deep passion for humans and the inner workings of our body and brain; personally, the most beautiful thing in this world is the human experience and how human consciousness shapes reality. I've been taking courses in Psychology and reading Carl Jung's books and other well-known figures in psychology, yet I haven't been able to express this passion in my career. Likely, I want to gear my career towards something that combines my CS skills with my love for humans. Whether I do this by creating Neural Networks that mimic our mind or something geared more toward Neuroscience, I don't know yet. However, I find the uncertainty of my career path to be exciting; part of the joy of life is how unpredictable it is, and I see this as a chance for me to explore and grow, both as a person and in my career.
If you're reading this right now and have any good opportunities for me to explore this path, please reach out to me; I still have a lot I don't know, and I'd love to learn what you offer to this world.

Web / App Development (React)
Students have two options: 1. Build on the work completed by Humber College students on the KnowQuest.net React-based webapp to complete the project. KnowQuest is the world's first Academic Feedback platform, and one of the most advanced feedback platforms in general. KnowQuest combines Credibility of users with Anonymity of ratings and Security (no personal information collected or sold) and Homogeneity (ratings are layered, not just 5 stars - thus, they are highly informative, powerful, and easily comparable). 2. MyPanion.com - Ethical Home Healthcare startup. MyPanion is bringing dignity and respect back to the home healthcare industry. By charging the customer a little less, and paying care workers much more, we ensure higher quality, better value, and better matches. Your job will be to create the MyPanion App. The App is a glorified scheduler with a GPS function built it. More details about the functionality of both options are available.
