About Me
As a fourth-year Computer Science student at the University of British Columbia, I’ve spent my time mastering the balance between clean code and creative problem-solving. Having completed internships in cloud infrastructure and AI, I specialize in building robust, scalable systems that solve complex problems. I believe the best technology is rooted in curiosity, a principle I carry into both my development projects and my work as a photographer.
