		<h3>Software Developer for Parkside Pool</h3>
		<p>
			This is a role that didn't exist before me. I was a lifeguard
			and swim instructor here, and the pool I worked at was being
			swamped with administrative work. Eventually I took on this work
			for the money that came with it. For ten hours each week, I
			would be reading emails, co-ordinating lessons, and sending out
			schedules. Creating the schedules was a tedious task, with
			siblings at different levels needing back to back lessons,
			people not available some days or times, and other various soft
			and hard requirements. <br /><br /> Soon I found out there is no
			easy algorithm known for finding solutions to problems with many
			soft and hard requirements. This is a NP-hard and is described
			in the
			<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_scheduling_problem"
				>Nurse Scheduling Problem</a
			>. Fortunately there was a cap of 128 students I could fit into
			classes per week and the final algorithm was around O(n³) for n
			swimmers, so the runtime wasn't horrible. <br /><br />
			Implementing the reception and confirmation of lessons was straightforward
			enough with a Flask site using Stripe for payments, and Firebase
			service for sending confirmation emails.

Volunteering

I volunteer within the Computer Science, Mathematics, and Statistics department at the University of Toronto as a Computer Science Ambassador to help cultivate interest in the Mathematical Sciences in high school students, as well as providing direction for first year students within the programs.
