I'm a Computer Science student at York University with an 3.88 / 4 GPA, 2 hackathon wins and research experience, building from Toronto.

I like building things people can actually use, from AI-powered web apps at hackathons to Java simulations of blockchain consensus in research. Next, I'm looking for a software engineering internship.
