About Me

Beyond coding, I'm deeply interested in education tech, system design, and helping others grow. I believe in building clean, user-first interfaces backed by solid backend architecture. I'm always learning, always iterating.

As a computer science student at the University of Calgary, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects that have helped me develop my skills in full-stack development, AI integration, and user experience design.

I've gained valuable industry experience through my internship at Data Elysium as a Software Engineer, where I applied my technical skills to real-world problems and collaborated with a team of professionals.
