My story
From moving to Canada all by myself at the age 15, to starting the programming club at my high school, interning as a financial analyst at a tech start-up, taking on a software engineer intern position at KPMG, and co-founding a newsletter with 10s of thousands of subscribers I have always been passionate about innovation and eager to take on new challenges.
Looking ahead, I'm excited to put my computer science and programming skills to good use by developing practical solutions for individuals and businesses. More than that, I want to lend a helping hand to young people who are just beginning their careers. Whether it's through creating software in that field or simply sharing what I've learned, my goal is to make the journey a bit easier for those who are just starting out.
