%% \item {\large High School Diploma}\, |\, {\small 2013}

%%   \hspace{1.3em} Average: 94.3\%
\end{itemize}

\section*{Research Interests}

\begin{itemize}
\item Functional programming and functional languages.
\item Formal methods, especially type systems, proof systems, and interactive
  provers.
\item Verification, Haskell, and Rust.
\end{itemize}

\section*{Research Experience}

\begin{itemize}
\item {\large Software Engineering Lab, } York University\, |\, {\small summer
  2017}

  \textit{Research Assistant}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item I'm working on expanding and testing \texttt{mathmodels},
    library implementing abstract mathematical collections written in Eiffel.
    I'll also be modeling various pieces of software in $\textrm{TLA}^+$.
  \end{itemize}

\item {\large Software Engineering Lab, } York University\, |\, {\small summer
    2016}

  \textit{Research Student}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item As an undergraduate research student, I worked on \textit{Literate
      Unit-B}, the verifier for Unit-B, a new formal method focused on formal
    verification of reactive, concurrent and distributed systems.

    From the Literate Unit-B codebase (written in Haskell), I decoupled the
    logic module and used it to build \textit{Unit-B Web}, a web interface using
    Literate Unit-B to do predicate calculus proofs. \linebreak Unit-B Web, also
    written in Haskell, supports the \LaTeX\ syntax of the Unit-B logic, renders
    user input on the page, and calls the sequent prover of the logic module,
    which uses the \textsc{z3 smt} solver to check the validity of user input.

  \item Further, I separated Literate Unit-B's type checker from its parser,
    allowing easier substitution of other type checking algorithms and in
    preparation for implementing subtyping.
  \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

\section*{Recent Projects}

\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{Unit-B Web:} The web interface for Unit-B, as mentioned in the
  \textit{Research Experience} section.\\
  Source code available at
  \href{https://github.com/unitb/unitb-web}{https://github.com/unitb/unitb-web}

\item \textit{tex2png-hs:} A tool for easily converting \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ to
  \textsc{PNG} images. \texttt{tex2png-hs} is a Haskell port of Xyne's
  \texttt{tex2png} tool. It is a wrapper around \texttt{latex} and
  \texttt{dvipng} and provides several options for modifying its behaviour, such
  as cropping the whitespace around the content, specifying the \textsc{DPI}, or
  inputting a full document.
