Full-Stack Software Developer

About Me

I'm a Toronto/Ottawa-based Full-Stack Software Developer with over eight years of programming experience. I love solving problems and I'm always looking to learn new skills. In 2022, I received my B.Sc. in Honours Mathematics and Computer Science from McGill University, where I engaged in classes including Honours Algorithms & Data Structures, Programming Languages & Paradigms and Operating Systems. My projects feature websites, games, computational mathematics and machine learning, and they often intersect with my other interests of classical music, visual art, trivia, and film.
