ABOUT ME
I first discovered that I liked to code almost a decade ago, moving an Orange Cat around on my screen. Since then, I've poked my head around every corner of the STEM field, but I never lost my enthusiasm for creating and building things with my keyboard.
Now, I'm a fourth year Software Engineering student at McMaster University. I've left the orange cats behind for now, but I get to work on much cooler things, like Concurrent Systems, Databases, and Machine Learning models.
In my free time, I enjoy playing Intramural Ultimate Frisbee , and I create workshops to teach undergraduate students machine learning fundamentals as an executive team member of the McMaster AI Society. I also frequently attend hackathons and engineering design competitions to learn and build new skills.
Throughout my Software Engineering journey I've gained experience as a leader and an effective team-member, all while developing numerous technical skills, many of which are listed below.
