ABOUT

I'm a graduate student from McGill University with a bachelor's in Computer Science. I am seriously passionate about the development of applications, software and games!

In my free time, you can usually find me trying to learn a new language, admiring the aurora, playing squash or enjoying games with my friends and family.
