about

Who Am I?

I am an university graduate from Kwantlen Polytechnic University, where I received my Bachelors Degree in Information Technology with specialization in Web and Application Development.

I am a mostly self-taught developer, I ventured into the software industry through web development. Soon realizing that I loved creating software and began exploring the vast world of software development. I have the skillset to cover both frontend and backend, specifically focused on JavaScript, TypeScript and C#.

I’ve developed for the Web, Android, iOS and desktop applications through technologies such as React, React Native and Electron. Being naturally curious, I’ve also spent time with Java and Kotlin for a deeper understanding of the intracacies of native Android development.

Outside of software development, I like photography and cooking. You might find me wandering around historical sites and buildings, or picking up a new skill that I've always wanted to learn! It is always so interesting to try new things and who knows, maybe I have a talent for it.
