It's nice to meet you!

Programming for me started with modding games and hosting private servers at a young age. It was always a hobby for me, and remained so while studying in university for my undergraduate degree in commerce.

As I moved into the workforce, I created software on occasion to help us in our day to day work. One of which was a calculator for IKEA Canada. It became so useful for our team that an executive of IKEA Canada was notified. She loved it, and said something similar would be implemented nation-wide. I knew then, that perhaps software was my calling.

Recently I decided to devote myself fully to programming. After taking multiple courses on various technologies through organizations such as Codecadamy, SwitchIT, Udemy, & FreeCodeCamp, my goal is to combine my knowledge of business and software to create amazing things.
