Hi! I'm Richard, a fourth year Computer Science student at Wilfrid Laurier University. I am currently working as a Machine Learning Researcher on LLMs at Wilfrid Laurier University with Sukhjit Singh Sehra. I recently interned at Dayforce as a Full Stack Developer, where I fixed bugs and converted test scripts to a new framework for the Dayforce Scheduling App used by millions using React, C# and SQL.

I have previously worked at CIBC Capital Markets where I developed a NLP AI Chatbot that takes conversational prompts to automate and execute SQL queries of fixed income bonds. I also worked for Civiconnect where I developed websites for businesses and the Ontario Government where I worked on developing UI-friendly apps to automate business processes.

In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, volleyball and working out at the gym.

I am also looking for Summer 2025 internships and New Grad Positions in software engineering / technical product management! Feel free to email me at liaorichard221@gmail.com or click the Contact Me button on the home page.
