About

Hi! My name is Aditi and I currently work as a Data Engineer at TD Bank in Toronto, Canada.

I am a 2023 alumna from the University of Waterloo, with a Bachelor's of Applied Science in Computer Engineering and option in Management Sciences.

Through my undergraduate career, I completed 6 internships, gaining experience in software development, enterprise architecture, agile delivery, and teaching.

My career interests lie in product management, data engineering, and software development.
I am passionate about innovative problem-solving, leading and collaborating with teams, strategic thinking, and continuously improving my technical skills to create impactful solutions.

I am also highly interested in Artificial Intelligence, and keep myself updated on the latest advancements, take relevant courses and certifications, and work on AI-focused projects.

In my free-time, you can catch me at the gym, at a boxing class, watching tennis,
investing, travelling, or volunteering.

I love to connect and meet new people, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re up for a coffee chat!
