About Me

Who I Am

I’m a 4th Year Computer Science student at York University’s Lassonde School of Engineering with hands-on experience delivering full-stack products for startups and AI tooling for creators. My work spans React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and cloud-native infrastructure.

During my time at FLOW Inc., I shipped features that support 5,000+ editors, optimized REST APIs by 22%, and automated QA workflows with Dockerized CI/CD. I also mentor learners globally through Chegg, explaining 200+ algorithmic and database problems with a 98% satisfaction score.

I’m obsessed with building systems that don’t fall apart under pressure, sneaking AI into every developer workflow I touch, and sharing what I learn so future-me can avoid past-me’s mistakes. Outside class, I’m usually tinkering with smart portfolio builders, resume screeners, and any tool that lets developers ship cool stuff with fewer headaches.
