About Me

I'm a Software Developer with over 5 years of experience building web applications. My journey in tech began when I built games on unity when I was 15, and I have been hooked ever since.

I am currently studying Engineering Physics at UBC. I am a part of student groups that specailizes in engineering designs, where I have the chance to gain industrial experiences and work with clients.

I specialize in building python software, app frontends, and deep learning projects using modern JavaScript frameworks. I'm passionate about clean code, user experience, and staying on top of the latest web technologies.

When I'm not coding, you can find me playing music, playing soccer, or chilling with my friends.
