Hi there! I'm Zaki Rangwala, a 20-year-old student at the Wilfrid Laurier University, where I'm channeling my passion for medicine and emerging technologies into real-world solutions. My journey so far has led me to the exciting intersection of healthcare and AI, where I've developed projects aimed at solving pressing challenges in the field.

Recently, I've reignited my love for reading and am actively cultivating a growth mindset. I'm expanding my horizons into the realms of AI and Web3, and I'm thrilled to be working on PokerGPT – the world's first AI-powered Poker Coach. It's an exhilarating time as I continue to explore and grow, always on the lookout for new challenges and opportunities.

Check out my latest article here, where I walkthrough how I built my very own face-mask detector and explain how this technology works behinds the scenes and the limitless applications that it has.
