Hi there! I'm

about_me

Welcome! I'm Yusyra, second-year computer science student at the University of Toronto (St.George) 👋. I'm also minoring in Math and Stats. I'm interested in exploring machine learning and data science in the future 💡!

I’m currently focused on feeding my neural network and working on projects to grow as a developer 😎. Reach out for a collab!

Throughout my studies so far, I've really enjoyed learning theorical calculus (RIP MAT137; it's no longer offered at UofT) and DSA. As of 2026, my CGPA is a 3.74/4.0, but without MAT137 (aka GPA killer 😕), it's a 4.0.

Beyond academics, you'll most probably find me reading historical fiction/non-fiction, cruising on my skateborad, spending time with my family, or disappearing into random internet rabbit holes after stumbling across an article (likely on Quantum Mechanics or WW2) 🌀. Oh, and of course, grinding !

Feel free to explore my projects on and get in touch, even just to say hi 📬! You can reach me at or connect with me on .

Note: These are written in a blog-style format, so they include a mix of technical details and personal reflections on the project journey. For a more techincal and consise overview of each project, check out the README files in the respective Github repos 💻.

explorations

I’ve always had a wide range of interests, which is one of the reasons I’m grateful to be part of the Arts & Science Faculty at UofT. It’s let me to explore various subjects outside of computer science through courses I genuinely chose out of curiosity 🧩.

Here I’m showcasing selected projects, ideas, and work that came out of those courses.
