About Me
-------------------
Since taking computer science classes in high school, I have pursued my interests in this field for the past several years. In this time, I have learned from a variety of experiences that are listed in this portfolio, including software engineer interrnships, university courses, and community events. I have recently graduated from the Computer Science program at Carleton University.

In terms of professional work, I have been given amazing opportunities to work at various tech companies in recent years. Namely, I was given amazing opportunities to intern at Ciena, March Networks, Signiant, and most recently, Amazon.

From high school and onwards, all of these experiences have helped shape my interest in software development. I am specifically keen on AI, computer graphics (especially 3D rendering), computer vision, and web/cloud development. I have recently been exploring these fields but would love to explore them much more in the future.

I have had a lot of fun working on projects and getting to learn more from each one. I look forward to experiencing more in this field, learning from it, and contributing to it. I am always open to new opportunities.
