About Me

I spent over five years in banking before realizing I wanted something different. What I enjoyed most was working with customers, understanding their problems, and finding tailored solutions. While exploring other paths, I came across Python, and seeing my first “Hello, World” run on the screen immediately hooked me.


That moment led me back to school for software development at Mohawk College, where I took advantage of the co-op program to gain real-world experience. Since then, I’ve completed two co-op terms at Procor Limited as both a developer and QA analyst, building close to two years of hands-on experience. Today, I’m focused on learning, growing, and collaborating with people who enjoy solving problems together.
