About
My journey into programming began back when I was 12 years old, tinkering with creating a bot for RuneScape. I was hooked from the start, finding joy in crafting something that could level up my character while I was at school or snoozing away. This fascination never went away as I find myself today with a Master's in Software Engineering, focusing on automation and machine learning.
Outside of my graduate studies and capstone internship, I'm passionate about expanding my tech skills. Currently, I'm developing a Fantasy Basketball AI Team Analyzer, leveraging machine learning to provide personalized insights. I've also had the recent privilege to work on a sophisticated web app for "Tech Thursdays", an event sponsored by a large fintech company and enjoy competing in hackathons, recently placing 2nd and 4th in the 2024 Nursing Hackathon and YYCHacks 2024, respectively.
While I'm not at my computer, I enjoy hiking, playing video games, watching basketball (diehard Raptors fan), and hanging out with my dogs. A fun fact about me is that I used to be the #7 ranked world and #1 ranked North American Elise player in League of Legends!
