About
I'm really into exploring new technologies and staying up-to-date with the latest trends in software development. When I'm not coding, I absolutely love photography and playing guitar.
Currently, I'm exploring new opportunities in software engineering, having previously worked at RBC as a SWE Intern where I dove deep into secure data exchange and backend systems. Feel free to contact me as I am always down to make new friends and collaborate on cool projects!

Random Facts You Didn't Ask For 🤷♂️
I once tried to build a game engine in C++... now it’s just a very expensive calculator
My guitar has more commits than some of my repos
i LOVEE MATCHAA and listen to Clario all the time (totally not being performative)
I can solve a Rubik's cube
I lowkey get confused at some math problems which my high-school self would've solved in seconds
Oh, did I mentioned I'm 6' 2" btw
