Hey! Welcome!

I'm a third year Computer Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Scarily close to being done my undergrad 🥶

Apart from loving cookies 🍪, planes ✈️, cookies on planes, and spending an obnoxious amount of time adding pictures to this website 🖼️, I like to spend my time learning new things, working on things I enjoy but most of all spreading joy!

This page will show you a high level glimpse into my life, but if you're interested in the technical stuff, check out my portfolio!

Some Quotes I live by:

  • Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

    Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

    "If you have a choice between being right and being kind, choose kind."

    ---- My Interpretation ----

    Do not make the mistake of giving up what you believe in just because you chose kind. Choosing kindness isn't about that. It's about recognizing the way in which we communicate our ideas can have a significant impact on how they are received by others.

  • Harvey Specter

    Harvey Specter

    "When you're backed against the wall, break the goddamn thing down."

    ---- My Interpretation ----

    The hotshot from Suits has a point. Persistence, resilience, and a willingness to take risks in the face of adversity can help find solutions to the most difficult of challenges. This quote is all about having a proactive and aggressive mindset when it comes to getting what you really want.

Hey! I'm glad you made it here!

Does anyone actually use the Contact Me page? I Left this page unfilled for 2 months and no one blinked an eye. I could leave it that way at the risk of people thinking I'm lazy, but I'd rather show you something funny instead.

first website ever

Wait whaaaaat???

This was actually the first website I ever created. In grade 7. I remember being so proud of it - mainly because I could spread awareness about protecting ocean wildlife through a completely new medium where I could be as creative as I wanted.

I've definitely stepped up my game since then though (right?).
