About me

I hold a Computer Science degree from Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, and have over five years of experience in computer science and UI/UX design. My passion lies in crafting intuitive, user-friendly designs that address real-world challenges.I developed a passion for computers through video games and later discovered an interest in graphic design during high school. This blend of interests informs my approach to software development, where I prioritize both visual appeal and functional usability.With a solid technical background, I bridge design and development, focusing on creating user-centric solutions that are both highly functional and visually refined. My approach is focused on continuous improvement, actively analyzing user feedback from early interactions and promptly iterating on designs.Outside of work, I enjoy tinkering with my self-hosting server, cooking, and spending time with my cat.
