About me

After graduating with degrees in Business and Law and feeling inspired by a friend in the tech industry, I decided to follow my passion for programming. My journey began with a Coursera course on Python, followed by pursuing a diploma in Computer Systems Technology at BCIT. What captivates me most about programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. My core stack is JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB. I am also versed in Java and SQL. I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am currently looking for a Co-op position where I can thrive as a software developer, web developer, QA specialist, or DevOps engineer.

Having lived in three different countries, I relish diverse experiences—from delving into reading and cinema to spending quality time with my ragdoll cats. I also enjoy learning new things. My current venture is exploring the photography. Moreover, I have a keen interest in Political Philosophy, European History, Art, and Psychology, which enrich my perspective and creativity.
