Tom Mai

I’m driven by embedded systems, distributed systems, and quantum computing. My experience has ranged from a Research Assistant for a post-quantum cryptography project at Carleton University School of Computer Science to Tooling and Performance engineering for an infrastructure monitoring solution at Nokia to Data Analysis for a data catalog project at Innovapost Data Architecture team, to working on Full Stack Software Developer at Knak, a startup where I am wearing many hats from doing front-end, back-end and integration. I also did TAships at Carleton University School of Computer Science working with Prof. Pat Morin, Prof. Michiel Smid, Prof. Mathew Holden, Instructor. Darryl Hill, Instructor. Alina Shaikhet in COMP 2804 Discrete Structure II, COMP 2404 Introduction to Software Engineering, and COMP 2402 Abstract Data Types and Algorithms, hosting 100+ hrs of office hours, helping 1000+ students understand course materials and giving constructive criticism on their assignments.
