About Me

I'm a 23 year old computer science new grad from Brock University with a passion for

Software Engineering, Cloud

and

Game Development.

My goal is to improve peoples lives through impactful digital solutions that solve real world problems.

Staying in the loop about everything tech related is something I enjoy especially when it comes to where the digital world is moving.

Outside of the office, I love to play the piano, ski, snowboard and even play video games such as Valorant and Fortnite with my friends! Growing up I always loved being challenged and the rubiks was perfect for stimulating my creative and problem solving side. I stopped competing in 2018 but I still try to stay in the loop to this day.
