Hi, my name is

Janel Gilani.

I do research and build software stuff.

I’m a software and research engineer seasoned in building full-stack development and machine learning applications. I am currently interning at Google DeepMind as a Research Engineer through the GDM Academy program.

About Me

Hello! My name is Janel and I'm a sociable and enterprising computer science graduate from the University of Toronto, with a cGPA of 3.96/4.0. I'm currently seeking software engineer or research engineer roles where I can apply my strong academic foundation and over 1 year of hands-on experience in full-stack development, machine learning, and applied research to build things that make users' lives easier.

When it comes to the organisational structure of a team, I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum: from cutting-edge research environments like Google DeepMind and Noah's Ark Lab to large, hierarchically structured financial institutions like Royal Bank of Canada. From ideation and prototyping to deployment and optimization, I’ve contributed at every stage of the software and research lifecycle!

Here is my relevant coursework:

  • Software Engineering
  • Data Structures & Algorithms
  • Web Programming
  • Machine Learning
  • Computer Networks
  • Operating Systems
  • Databases
  • Computer Vision
