Khash Portrait
👋🏻

Hello, I'm Khash. Welcome to my digital portfolio! I'm thrilled to have you here to explore my journey through a range of projects, research, and innovations in the dynamic world of technology.

About me

I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Applied Computing at the University of Toronto and have completed my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering. My research interests lie in optimizing deep learning models for spatio-temporal data, with applications in remote sensing and telecommunications. As a research assistant, I have contributed to projects focused on implementing and optimizing algorithms, particularly for tracking land cover changes such as deforestation. With over four years of experience in full-stack web development, I am skilled in building dynamic and efficient web applications. I am dedicated to finding innovative solutions to real-world problems and eager to take on new challenges.

My Projects

Onyva

View

Onyva helps users plan outdoor trips like hiking, camping, and running. It supports group communication, full trip planning, expense calculation, bookings, and optimized routes. The app also suggests future trips based on past activities and factors in real-time weather.
