I will turn your vision into a real digital product. I’m open to collaboration.
My path to software engineering wasn't linear, but it was driven by a single question: How can we model complex systems to solve real-world problems? Starting with a BSc in Biotechnology, I spent my early career analyzing biological data. Today, as a Computer Science student at UBC, I’ve traded the lab bench for a code editor.
I enjoy turning ideas into working products - from full-stack web apps to iOS apps. I like building things that are practical, scalable, and actually useful.
Right now, I’m looking for software engineering internship and new grad opportunities where I can learn fast and contribute to real products.
