About Me

I enrolled in the computer science program at Dawson College, driven by a desire to learn how to code so I could bring my own ideas to life — like video games.

During my time there, I worked on a wide range of projects in a work-like environment, always collaborating in teams alongside my fellow classmates.

That path led to an internship at Summit Tech, which grew into a full-time role where I started working in native mobile development.

Looking ahead, I want to build useful and creative applications that make a real difference.
