Bio

Hi, I’m Ayan Shakeel. I am a passionate Honours Bachelor of Mathematics (Co-op) student at the University of Waterloo. I am developing my skills in programming, data analysis, statistical modelling, and problem-solving, applying them to both academic projects and real-world challenges.

I enjoy working with Python to explore computational models and data-driven solutions. Some of my projects include creating a collision forecasting model, an insurance premium calculator, and a custom UI/UX interface, which have helped me build a deeper understanding of mathematical modelling, software development, and user-centred design. Beyond coding, I thrive in environments that encourage critical thinking, adaptability, and collaboration, which I have cultivated through my involvement in VEX Robotics competitions and various student organizations.

Outside of technical work, I have a passion for mentoring and teaching, which I have pursued as an Education Facilitator and Academic Mentor, helping students grasp complex concepts and improve their skills. I also stay engaged in the Waterloo Data Science and Actuarial Science Clubs, where I explore applications of mathematics in different industries.

I’m always eager to learn, grow, and take on new challenges, whether through developing software, analyzing data, designing user-friendly interfaces, or solving mathematical problems. I look forward to opportunities where I can continue building my skills and making meaningful contributions.
