Hi! My name is Yash Mathur

Breakneck learner, technology enthusiast, and an aspiring software engineer

About

Hey there! I'm a 3rd year Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo who loves solving problems using my technical and collaborative skills. I'm currently looking for Fall 2019/Winter 2020 internships.
My strongest languages are Ruby, C++ and Javascript, having written over 10,000 lines in each of them. I've worked on numerous projects in Go, Scheme and Java. I'm very interested in infrastructure engineering and building tools to improve developer productivity.
Outside of computer science, my interests include playing classic rock songs on the guitar, swimming and playing football. I'm a die hard Manchester United fan.
