Hi, my name is

Janel Gilani.

I do research and build software stuff.

I’m a software and research engineer seasoned in full-stack development and machine learning applications. I currently work at Amazon Robotics as a Software Development Engineer building systems that powers robotics systems used in fulfillment centers around the world.

About Me

Hello! My name is Janel, and I graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Science (3.96/4.0 cGPA). I completed a Computer Science Specialist and Statistics Minor with Co-op, with a dual focus in Artificial Intelligence and Web and Internet Technologies.

When it comes to team environments, I’ve seen a bit of everything: from cutting-edge research labs like Google DeepMind and Noah's Ark Lab, to large financial institutions like Royal Bank of Canada, and now global operations at Amazon Robotics. From ideation and prototyping to deployment and optimization, I’ve contributed at every stage of the software and research lifecycle!

Here is my relevant coursework:

  • Software Engineering
  • Data Structures & Algorithms
  • Web Programming
  • Machine Learning
  • Computer Networks
  • Operating Systems
  • Databases
  • Computer Vision
