About

I am a 3rd-year Dean’s Honours student in the Computer Engineering Technology (CET-CS) program at Algonquin College in Ottawa, ON.

I specialize in back-end development and enjoy building tools, applications, and systems that focus on efficiency and clean architecture. I’m most confident in Java, with solid experience in and C, ADA, and Bash scripting.

I am currently working an 8-month coop term at General Dynamics Mission Systems-Canada as a Software Developer. My duties include assisting in the maintenance and lifecycle of software that is deployed in military hardware. This includes fixing bugs, developing productivity tools and scripts, and system integration, among others. Through the AGILE framework, the team is able to quickly identify, review, document, and address issues and features to the software suited to the needs of the client.

Previously, I worked as a cook at Riviera Ottawa, recently named Canada’s Best Restaurant Bar by Canada’s Top 100. I spend my free time programming, cooking, cycling, playing guitar, and occasionally rock-climbing.
