What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters growth, innovation, and the opportunity to work on impactful software projects. I also have a deep passion for environmental and sustainability solutions!

I am an aspiring software engineer with a strong passion for learning, building, and exploring the world of software development and network engineering. Currently, I am pursuing an Advanced Diploma in Computer Systems Technology with a focus on Software Development and Network Engineering at Sheridan College, where I maintain a CGPA of 3.96. My educational journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in programming languages and frameworks, as well as hands-on experience through various projects.

Throughout my academic career, I have participated in several hackathons, including the Azure AI Developer Hackathon and the Nosu AI Hackathon, where I developed innovative applications that leverage AI technologies. My projects, such as Fridgorithm and BrainBuddy, showcase my ability to integrate complex AI logic with user-friendly interfaces. I am also continuously expanding my skill set, currently learning Docker and AI fundamentals, which I believe will further enhance my capabilities as a software engineer.
