About Me

Learning every day. Building software that matters.

I'm passionate about creating software that is practical, reliable, and enjoyable to use. Every project is an opportunity to improve my engineering skills, learn new technologies, and solve meaningful problems.

Journey

I began studying Computer Science at the University of Prince Edward Island in January 2025. Through the Co-op program and a minor in Mathematics, I'm building a strong foundation in software engineering, algorithms, and problem solving.

Goal

My goal is to become a software engineer who builds reliable, scalable, and intelligent software. I'm especially interested in backend development, full-stack applications, artificial intelligence, and cloud technologies.

Values

I believe in continuous learning, taking ownership, writing clean code, and building software that genuinely helps people solve real problems.

My Journey

Jan 2025

Started my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (Co-op) with a minor in Mathematics at UPEI.

Today

Building portfolio projects while strengthening my skills in software engineering, web development, databases, algorithms, and AI.

Dec 2028

Expected graduation and preparing for a career as a software engineer focused on building impactful technology.

FinTech + Full Stack

Personal Finance Dashboard

A full-stack personal finance application that helps users track spending, organize transactions, and understand their financial habits through clear dashboards and analytics.

Problem

Personal spending data is often scattered across accounts and difficult to interpret, making it harder for users to understand where their money goes and make informed financial decisions.

Solution

A centralized dashboard that organizes transactions, groups expenses by category, tracks spending trends, and presents financial data through simple, readable visualizations.

Real-Time Energy Dashboard

A real-time monitoring platform that collects, processes, and visualizes energy consumption data through interactive dashboards and live analytics.

Problem

Energy usage data is generated continuously and can be difficult to monitor, analyze, and interpret in real time without a centralized system.

Solution

Developed a responsive dashboard that processes incoming data, displays live metrics, visualizes historical trends, and helps users identify unusual energy consumption patterns through interactive charts.
