Hey, I'm

I'm a junior at Wilfrid Laurier University pursuing a double degree in Computer Science and Business Administration, with a strong passion for building software that solves real-world problems.

I've gained hands-on experience as a Software Engineer Intern at Riipen and a Strategic Marketing Analyst at the AI startup Learning Mode AI. I’m constantly exploring new technologies while working on creative projects that challenge and inspire me.

Outside of coding, you’ll find me at the gym, watching or playing basketball, trying new food spots, or planning my next trip. I love collaborating on projects and meeting like-minded people, so feel free to reach out!
