Shahmeer Khan
I study computer science at the University of Toronto, St. George. I was also a machine learning engineer intern at Shopify, working on making search more personalized.
Previously, I worked on client authentication as a software engineer intern at CIBC, and at Toronto Community Employment Services, I helped build a job board for people seeking employment.
Reach out! I love meeting people who have unique ideas, talk fitness, or want to play chess.
