I'm a Vancouver-based computer science student with hands-on experience building cloud applications and teaching kids how to code. At Code Ninjas, I help young learners grasp fundamentals using Scratch, JavaScript, Lua, and C#/Unity, while refining my own problem-solving and debugging skills in fast-paced classrooms. During my software engineer fellowship at Headstarter AI, I designed and deployed full-stack applications using Next.js and OpenAI APIs, and mentored projects with industry feedback. I'm passionate about building scalable software, collaborating across teams, and applying data-driven approaches to improve user experiences. I'm excited to contribute my frontend, backend, and cloud skills to a collaborative engineering team.
