About Me

I'm a Computer Science student at McGill University with hands-on experience in full stack development. During my Canada Summer Jobs employment at McGill Research Institute of Health Centre (Brian Chen's Lab), I worked on Genedig's web platform front-end and database management.

I'm passionate about using technology to solve meaningful problems, whether it's developing medical diagnostic systems or building academic tools. When I'm not coding, you can find me volunteering in the community or learning new technologies.
