About
I am currently in my final year of studies at the University of Toronto, pursuing a degree in Computer Science, with a specialization in Software Engineering. I am expected to graduate in June 2019.
I am an extremely self-driven and creative Software Developer with a natural curiosity for learning. I have used my background in Computer Science to develop numerous academic, professional and side-projects. I also have a strong drive to innovate and create products that I find useful which I believe other people may appreciate as well. I also enjoy other activities such as producing hip-hop music, personal fitness, world history and playing basketball.
I've held positions as a software development intern at Defence Research and Development Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada and the University of Toronto which have allowed me to gain experience in software engineering, full-stack development, mobile development, scientific programming and data analysis. I also have considerable experience designing and working with continuous integration pipelines created using AWS, Azure and Heroku.
