About Me

I'm finishing up my CS degree at Dawson College in Montreal. I got into programming because I wanted to build stuff, not just use it.

Before coding, I worked in sales. That taught me how to talk to people, figure out what they actually need, and explain things without the jargon. Turns out those skills are pretty useful in tech too.

Right now I'm looking for a dev role where I can keep learning and actually ship things that matter.
