Hello, I discovered my passion for technology while pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Calgary. During my studies, I completed several courses that involved coding in languages such as Java, MATLAB, and VBA. After earning my degree, I interned as a Web Developer/Web Administrator at ADRIA in Edmonton, Alberta, for the summer. Afterwards, I chose to return to the University of Calgary to pursue a Master's in Software Engineering. Currently, I am working as a Full Stack Developer at a startup and am also in the process of obtaining my CompTIA A+ certification.
