About Me




Hi! I'm a fourth year Computer Science major in the BCS program at UBC.


I'm a software developer that specializes in front-end and full-stack development. Currently I'm interning at Texavie and previously interned at IBM. In my free time, I like to participate in hackathons or work on projects. When I'm not coding, you can find me at a bouldering gym or at a local restaurant eating away. I would love to chat with you if anything I mentioned caught your attention. Feel free to send me a message or connect with me on LinkedIn!
