About me
As a software engineer, I am passionate about developing back-end systems and data-driven applications. Currently pursuing a Diploma in Computer Systems Technology at BCIT, I continue expanding my skills through hands-on projects, real-world applications, and a genuine love for problem-solving.
Experience building back-end systems, APIs, and full-stack applications has strengthened my foundation in languages such as C, Go, Java, JavaScript, and Python, as well as technologies like Docker, MongoDB, and SQL. Working on collaborative BCIT projects and open-source software has also sharpened my communication, adaptability, and ability to deliver practical solutions.
Most recently, I was part of Team Cerberus Gate at the inaugural Red Team Hackathon, where we earned a third-place finish after building a prototype focused on RF signal classification, modulation analysis, and emitter geolocation.
