“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.” - Tim Notke
Hi, I'm Aryan Singh, a first-year Computing And Financial Management student (Co-op) @ University of Waterloo.
ABOUT
I’m Aryan, a first-year Computing & Financial Management student at the University of Waterloo. On my free time, I enjoy building and exploring projects that intersect in the world of finance and technology. You might wonder where I found my FinTech vibe — well, I was introduced to the programming world in middle school and that's where I found my passion for coding and technology. With this foundation, I found myself digging the internet for finance-related projects to work on, and the rest is history! Now, I'm interested into learning all types of new technologies that will shape the future of FinTech!
