About Me

I am a Master’s student in Computing Science at the University of Alberta with a background in software development and applied problem solving. I have worked across web development, backend systems, testing, and research-driven projects, and I enjoy turning ideas into reliable, user-friendly software.

My experience includes building full-stack applications, improving software quality through testing and debugging, and contributing to collaborative industry and academic projects. I am especially interested in software engineering roles where I can keep growing in quality engineering, backend development, and practical AI applications.
