A little context
About
Student, builder and careful problem-solver based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I’m an Applied Computer Science student at Dalhousie University who enjoys taking ideas from rough concepts to working products. My work spans full-stack development, AI-enabled applications, cloud infrastructure and data visualization. I’m especially interested in understanding how the product, backend and user experience fit together.
Outside class, I learn by shipping projects, documenting the decisions behind them and talking with people who might use what I build.
