I love Software Development Culinary Arts Toronto Raptors

As a recent Computer Engineering graduate from the University of British Columbia, I have experience in Modern Web Applications, Software Engineering, Distributed Systems, Databases, and Computer Vision.

Though the UBC Engineering Co-op Program, I gained industry experience in software development, with companies ranging from a fast-paced Fintech startup to a major animation/VFX studio.

With my sharp technical background and communication skills, I am prepared for the challenges of the modern technology landscape, focusing on backend and full-stack development.
