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 IBRO (Dr. Brian Chen's Lab) at McGill University, I worked on Genedig's web platform front-end and database management.

I'm passionate about building reliable, user-friendly web and software applications. I enjoy front-end development, database work, and improving usability. When I'm not coding, I'm volunteering in the community or learning new technologies.
