Aiden Fox Ivey

I'm Aiden - a developer and engineering student at the University of Waterloo.

My main interests are low-level computing and compilers. My personal opinion is that the most interesting computing problems happen when you unwrap abstractions.

I'm generally quite eager to talk. I will certainly return your emails.
