I love to build cool things
Before I wrote my first line of Python, I ran a graphic design business and was obsessed with Origami. I loved the visual creativity, but I hated the permanence: if you crease the paper wrong, the model is ruined.
That limitation is exactly what drew me to Software Engineering. I realized that coding is the ultimate design tool: it allows me to build complex systems (like origami) and beautiful interfaces (like graphic design), but with the power to debug and iterate endlessly.
- Current Goal: I am actively seeking Software Engineering Internships!
- School: Honors BSc in Computer Science @ Western University (Dean's Honor List).
- Recent Wins:
- 🥉 3rd Place @ SheHacks for TedTalks (AI-powered emotional support teddy bear).
- 🥈 2nd Place @ MsaHacks for Khushu (EEG brainwave mindfulness tracker).
When I'm not debugging, you can find me:
- 📄 Folding Origami
- 🎨 Painting & Designing
- 🧁 Baking (It's my meditation)
- 📸 Photography
