CS Undergrad, Software Engineer
Computer Science student at Queen's University building full-stack applications, machine learning models, and interactive experiences. Passionate about solving real-world problems through code.
About Me
Currently, I'm involved in Queen's Computing Student Assocation (COMPSA), Queen's Themed Entertainment Development Team (QTEDT), and Smith Business and Technology (SBT) where I engage in software development, leadership, and learning new technologies. I've always been fascinated by technology which led me to pursue a career in computer science.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me at the pier playing spikeball, playing intramural Soccer, Football, or Ultimate Frisbee, and spending time with my friends.
