ABOUT ME

Hey! Welcome to my website. I am a Computer Science student, currently in my third year at the Lassonde School of Engineering at York University in Toronto.

I am currently working as a Software Engineering Intern at BlackBerry developing the internal cloud console tool using Golang, Docker and React.

I am experienced in Full Stack Development as I have built multiple web applications for clients using the latest technologies.

I am currently working on my first startup RateMyCourses.io, which is a platform that helps students see reviews and get advice on university courses they are interested in, and look up other useful info, like group chats, study notes and the best professors for each course. it has over 200,00 page views and more than 15 universities in North America.

Before my computer science and startup journey, I used to do archery competitively for 4 years. I have won a few national and international competitions. Archery still has a very special place in my heart. I plan to one day get back to practicing again.

In my free time, you will probably find me working out or maybe hanging out with friends. I like travelling and meeting new people. I also love to try out new things and make new memories. I am passionate about learning and I aspire to improve myself everyday.
