> About Me
Hey there! I’m a third-year Computer Science Co-op student at the University of Waterloo. I’m interested in developing software to solve real-world problems and have a knack for coming up with creative, yet practical solutions. Also, I love a good aesthetic with clean design and documentation, and try to incorporate it into all of my projects.

I'm always on the run to learn new technologies and keep myself updated in the tech world. In my free time, I'm usually hanging out with friends, binge-watching shows, or thinking about the simulation we're in. I also enjoy playing Chess and Table Tennis.
