Software Developer / Student / Linux Enthusiast
About
Hello! I’m a software developer and BSc student majoring in Computer Science and Math at the University of British Columbia.
As a developer of many projects, I tackle challenging problems head-on. My experiences with using unfamiliar tools have made me a versatile problem-solver. I consider myself to be a reliable and efficient team member.
I interned as a Full-Stack Software Developer at Visier from January 2021 to December 2021. During my time here, I contributed in feature-development and fixed bugs following Agile principles. I focused on test-driven development, communicated across different teams, hooked up demos for company-wide presentations, and mentored new interns.
Academically, I am committed to my education and excel in my studies with an A+ average. Outside of class, I enjoy finding new ways to optimize my Arch Linux developer environment through refining my dotfiles.
