who am i?
I am an undergraduate student at McMaster University pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Science. I am currently in Level 2 and have a passion for web design, front-end coding, marketing, and expressing ideas through a creative lens.
Welcome to my website. Feel free to explore my work, learn more about my experiences, or connect with me.
One of my strongest interests is creating and innovating new ideas. I love starting with a concept from scratch, working through challenges, and bringing it to life.
This interest began when I was younger, from solving difficult math problems at school to building things like vending machines and mechanical arms out of cardboard. Over time, I have grown to enjoy opportunities that push me to adapt, explore, and think creatively.
I thrive in problem-solving environments, especially when I can combine logic, creativity, and design. Outside of coding, I enjoy exploring different art mediums, storytelling through drawings and paintings, and listening to music.
One of my biggest inspirations is PinkPantheress. I’m inspired not only by her music, but also by her upbeat energy, creative visuals, fashion, and personal flair.
