Graduate Research Assistant
Developed Python tooling for CFD and scientific computing. Facilitated weekly scrum‑style meetings across Applied Math and Chem Eng. Collaborated with a team of four to prototype and benchmark solvers.
Hello, I'm Kyle Booker
Applied Mathematics (M.Math) graduate and software engineer focused on scientific computing, numerical methods, and computational fluid dynamics. I turn complex models into performant, maintainable code.
About me
I’m a University of Waterloo M.Math grad in Applied Mathematics with 2+ years of software engineering experience in scientific computing and CFD. My work centers on high‑performance Python, numerical methods, and building tools that make large, abstract datasets usable.
I like pragmatic engineering: clear APIs, strong tests, fast iterations, and good docs. Always exploring new tech that tightens feedback loops.
Experience
Undergraduate Research Assistant
Built code to model a chemical reaction; co‑authored a paper and presented at the Canadian Undergraduate Math Conference. Improved legacy C code and added higher‑order numerical schemes. Automated concurrent simulations via Bash.
Undergraduate Research Assistant
Developed Python algorithms that supported proofs in graph theory; co‑authored a published paper and gave a talk at CUMC for 50+ students.
Undergraduate Research Assistant
Implemented Python algorithms for Matroid theory on Unix; marked quizzes for a large course cohort (80+ students).
Administrative Assistant
Handled inquiries and donations; maintained financial records with an improved Excel system. Coordinated Relay For Life, raising $60k+.
