I am a passionate and innovative professional with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science from McGill University, expected to graduate in December 2024. I enjoy leveraging my knowledge in AI, data science, and software development to create impactful projects and teach others. With strong skills in programming and a keen interest in creative coding, I aim to bridge technical expertise with creative applications. Currently, I work as a Documentation Engineer at McGill University, where I design onboarding materials and develop tools to support internal research infrastructure. I have also contributed as a Data Science Researcher focusing on social media bot detection, and as a Creative Coding Lecturer teaching immersive workshops to university students. I am fluent in English and Spanish, with professional working proficiency in French, and thrive in environments that challenge me to grow both technically and artistically.
