I'm a third-year Computer Science Co-op student at McMaster University with experience in full-stack software development across frontend, backend, and database technologies. I’ve worked on production software in industry, research projects, and personal applications, and I’m particularly interested in machine learning and natural language processing. Looking to continue building software as a software engineer upon graduation.
