Who I Am

About Me

I’m a third-year Computer Engineering student at Toronto Metropolitan University with experience building full-stack applications, designing databases, and working with low-level systems. I like building software that is practical, maintainable, and easy to use.

My projects range from secure academic platforms and database systems to Java applications, ticketing systems, and embedded microcontroller work. I’m especially interested in backend development, software engineering, and systems-oriented problem solving.
