About

Hello 👋!

I'm a 4th year Computer Science student at University of Victoria, with a strong focus on Networking and Security. Beyond my academic pursuits, I'm deeply passionate about Cryptography, Linux, and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).

My journey through the tech industry has led me to roles at various startups and freelancing opportunities, where I've authored code as a full-stack software developer. These experiences have introduced me to the modern web technologies, and standard security practices.

Motivated to learn, I constantly seek to leverage my skills and expertise to contribute meaningfully to the realms of cybersecurity and open-source innovation.
