About

A concise overview of my background and interests.

I'm a Software Engineering student at Concordia University based in Montreal. My background spans both software and hands-on technical work: I've built and repaired computers for years, and I bring that same curiosity and attention to detail into the work I do today. I enjoy creating clean, dependable projects with readable code, thoughtful UX and I'm always looking for opportunities to learn and grow as a software engineer.

Outside of coding:
  • I love watching and playing hockey, tennis, golf and football
  • I enjoy travelling and experiencing the world
  • I am also very passionate about the tech industry and its potential to shape the future
