My Passion.

SFU's Computer Science program isn't just about codeβ€”it's a way for me to get into the tech world πŸš€. Dynamic projects, mentorship, and teamwork are shaping my career journey. SFU is where I'm gaining real-world experience and gearing up to make a tech impact! πŸ’»βœ¨

Beyond coding, I'm into martial arts – Karate πŸ₯‹, MMA πŸ‘Š, and Judo 🀼. Winning global tournaments toughens my discipline, fortitude and determination. The sweat and smarts in the ring blend with my academic journey, shaping a versatile skill set for success in both digital and real-life arenas. 🌟

My Passion.
My Passion. My Passion.

Nature is my sanctuary, the thrill of hiking 🏞️, the exhilaration of snowboarding πŸ‚, and the peace I get from running πŸƒ. In the kitchen, cooking 🍳 is a way I get creative other than coding, blending different flavors and creating new dishes. Books πŸ“š are my refuge, they pull me into different realities allowing me to take a break from life's overwhelming events.
