Code review & troubleshooting 💬
During my PhD at the University of Northern British Columbia, I co-founded the Applied Analysis Hub (AAH), a research support group providing one-on-one code review and troubleshooting for students and faculty. This gave me extensive experience reviewing code, particularly for graduate students’ research projects.
