ABOUT

Where I am

I'm a 4th year student at the University of Windsor studying Applied Computing. Currently I am working at the university as a teaching assistant for a third year game development class as well as a web developer for the university's Welcome Center. Additionally, this semester I am looking for co-op/internship opportunities from January to July. During my free time I like to play League of Legends, listen to musicals and work on projects. My current project creating is a data warehouse from data stored in Monday.com using GraphQL API for a company called Landscape Effects Group.

Where I'm going

Over the next year I will be taking academic courses on topics of Agile Software Development, Advanced Databases, and Machine Learning. The end goal of taking these courses is to be able to take the principles learned and apply them to real-world applications such as projects, hackathons and job opportunities. I also plan to continue my practies in web development while diving further into the field by exploring UI libraries such as React.js and Angular as well as learning more backend applications like Node.js and Ruby on Rails.
