Background#

I’m a first-year Software Engineering student at the University of Ottawa, driven by curiosity and a passion for solving complex problems through code. I started my journey in tech through programming and cybersecurity competitions, which taught me to think critically and act fast.

What I’m good at#

Full-Stack Development#

Building end-to-end applications with modern web technologies. From React frontends to FastAPI & Express backends, I love creating polished user experiences backed by solid architecture.

Tech stack: React, Next.js, FastAPI, Flask, Django, PostgreSQL, Docker

Cybersecurity#

I have hands-on experience in penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. As a Cybersecurity Analyst during High School, I discovered critical vulnerabilities and built tools for security testing. I’ve also participated in competitions such as CyberSci where I ranked in the top 10 individually for the Ottawa region.

Skills: Burp Suite, ZAP, Kali Linux, Pwntools
