Biography, Interests, and Hobbies

Kuei (Jack) Sun

University of Toronto

I studied at the University of Victoria for my bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering with Software Specialization. The highlight of my study there was winning the artificial intelligence contest (for 3 more consecutive years as previous AI). I worked at Blue Castle Games (now Capcom Vancouver) as an Online Software Engineer for two years before deciding to start my journey to a Ph.D degree (ABD) at the University of Toronto.

Interests and Hobbies

Web Design

I have acted as the web developer and system administrator for the OAPT contest website, which is an annual contest for Physics 11 students across Ontario. The framework was written in Python Django, running on Apache and nginx, using MySQL as our backend store. Unfortunately, graphics and animation is not one of my strong suits so please don't expect any awe-inspiring design.

Video Games

I play video games once in a while now. Typically, I play for the storyline and not competitively, but there are (multiple) exceptions.

2023: Casually playing Diablo 4.
2022:
- Specialized in healing classes throughout World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
- "Played" Elden Ring.
2021: My YouTube Channel - A playlist of me playing Among Us, as an imposter.
2020: Achieved Master Tier in Teamfight Tactics during Season 3.

Board Games

I enjoy statistical analysis and game theory for all the board games I play, especially those with heavy emphasis on deduction, bluffing and player interaction, such as Resistance: Avalon, Broom Service, Codenames, and poker. Feel free to contact me if you are equally interested in having a fun night after paper deadlines!

Anime

Current favorites include: Demon Slayer, Made in Abyss, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Steins;Gate, Death Note, Parasyte, Attack on Titan, and Erased (Boku dake ga Inai Machi).

Sports

I recreationally play badminton, tennis, and ping pong. I also enjoy hiking and kayaking during summer. In winter times, I snowboard occasionally.

Others

I am pretty good at singing, and I also love going to escape rooms!
