02 / Get to know me

Background & education.

Curious by nature. Practical by approach.

01 / My story

Background

Born on January 8, 2004, I grew up curious about how systems work, how games feel, and how ideas become real tools. On August 16, 2019, I moved to Canada looking for a better life and a stronger future.

That move shaped how I work: adaptable, focused, organized, and willing to learn difficult things from the ground up. I enjoy teamwork and building projects that bring together logic, design, and interaction.

Beyond coursework, I’m building experience in game development, browser multiplayer, backend services, databases, and hardware troubleshooting. I like following a problem from the first idea through to a working result.
