COMPUTER ENGINEERING @ UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO
I'm a passionate software developer who's been coding for over 7 years, starting my journey at age 11 with simple website development.
When I'm not building apps or diving into full-stack web development, AI, quant, and crypto, I love playing soccer and basketball. I've been doing karate since I was young and I'm a black belt.
Currently studying Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, I enjoy creating apps that people actually want to use. I'm always learning something new and love tackling interesting problems.
Check out my experience and projects below to see what I've been working on!
