About Me
I am currently working towards a bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a minor in Software Engineering at the University of Western Ontario.
After spending many years working in the service industry where I developed many soft skills, I had the opportunity to work in my first technical role as a Software Developer Intern at Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan where I had the opportunity to apply the skills I have learned from the classroom to solve real-world problems.
After graduation, I hope to pursue a career in software engineering or development, where I will be able to contribute to products that will positively affect millions of people worldwide. Because of this goal, I am constantly in search of opportunities to contribute to the software community as well as to develop my software development/engineering skills.
