About

I'm a developer who enjoys building accessible, easy-to-use applications. I have been able to leverage my expertise with technologies like React, NodeJS, and Firestore to create efficient and reliable user-focused solutions that simplify everyday tasks.

As a recent graduate from the University of Calgary, I am looking for opportunities to expand my skill set and contribute to new development projects. Iā€™m open for any new experiences and opportunities to grow as a software engineer.

In my spare time I enjoy climbing, snowboarding, and reading.
