Matthew Taylor Software Developer

Computer science specialist at the University of Toronto. I enjoy programming, problem-solving, and learning new technologies.

About Me

I am a dedicated software developer with a strong foundation in computer science. I am pursuing an Honors Bachelor of Science, specializing in Computer Science, at the University of Toronto. Experience with a variety of personal and academic projects has helped me become proficient in Python, C/C++, JavaScript, Java, C#, and Bash, along with expertise in areas like source control, debugging, mathematics, and algorithms. I am a hard worker and responsible programmer, and I bring a positive mindset to each project I undertake.

Computer Science at the University of Toronto

I entered university with knowledge of Java as my first programming language. I competed in the CEMC Canadian Computing Competition and Virtual Skills Ontario Competition using Java. I developed small games and graphical user interfaces for using Java and C#. My first-year courses for data structures and algorithms were written in Python.

Accepted into the Computer Science Specialist Program

I have been accepted and started working towards my specialization after finishing my mathematical Proofs, Datastructures, and Algorithms courses. I am very excited and interested in learning about machine learning and cryptography and am working towards gaining more knowledge in these fields.

May. 2023

Finished 2nd year

I started working on larger projects and collaborating on projects with my peers. Collaborating on open-source projects has piqued my interest. The main area of my personal programming development currently has been focused on developing software for the Python ecosystem using the C API.

May. 2024

Finished 3rd year

I have completed my third year of university and have started working on my fourth year. My first semester I completed Introduction to Information Security, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Principles of Programming Languages, and Operating Systems. I have been working on creating a good portfolio of projects and have been working on a few open-source projects. I also really enjoyed my second semester courses in machine learning and image understanding. For my Image Understanding course, I worked on a project that used a convolutional neural network to segment images as well. I also worked on a project that used neural radiance fields to construct 3D models from 2D images.
