My Journey in Tech
My Path to Software Engineering
From an early fascination with technology to earning my Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering from Toronto Metropolitan University, my journey has been all about solving problems and building innovative solutions. Graduating in 2023, I received my Iron Ring, marking my entry into the world of engineering—a moment that solidified my passion for creating technology that makes an impact.
Throughout my studies, I immersed myself in software development, database management, and UI/UX design, working on projects that combined creativity with technical precision. My capstone project, an AI-based job recommender system, was a deep dive into Python, Flask, SQL, and machine learning, blending data-driven decision-making with real-world applications. Alongside my academic projects, I explored front-end web development, graphic design, and video editing, sharpening a unique blend of technical and creative skills.
Now, as I step into the professional world, I’m eager to apply my expertise in software engineering, problem-solving, and user-focused design to impactful projects. Whether it’s coding, designing, or optimizing systems, I thrive on tackling challenges and continuously expanding my skill set.
On the right, that’s me proudly wearing my Iron Ring—a symbol of my commitment to engineering excellence and ethical responsibility.
