Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

I’m an ex-competitive gamer turned developer who’s passionate about tinkering. While pursuing a gaming career and finishing business school, I realized finance was not my path, leading me to programming. After learning through free resources, I attended Fullstack Academy in NYC to master React, Node, and Express. I soon joined a startup to develop an e-commerce platform. I thrive in supportive teams and enjoy surfing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and snowboarding in my free time.

I began my career as an IT Support and Security Specialist, assisting businesses in troubleshooting technical issues and optimizing their systems. Through hands-on experience with technology, I discovered my passion for software development and started learning independently through online resources. I later worked as a Web Developer, but to further enhance my skills, I am currently pursuing an Advanced Diploma in Software Engineering (AI) at Centennial College.

As a goal-driven team player, I thrive on making a positive impact in every collaboration. I actively support team efforts, tackle challenges head-on, and contribute to innovative problem-solving, all while continuously learning and improving. With a strong passion for exploring new programming libraries, tools, and concepts, I am eager to apply my skills and grow in a professional environment with exciting opportunities ahead.

After graduating with my bachelor’s degree, I pursued Software Engineering Technology at Centennial College and applied for the Master of Computer Science program at Georgia Institute of Technology. I just started my studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology in January 2025.

I previously worked as a Full Stack Developer at Vizon, where I gained proficiency in Figma, React.js, Node.js, Python, Numpy, and Pandas. During my time at OER Lab, I further strengthened my skills in HTML and CSS. Additionally, I had the opportunity to explore technologies specific to online education, such as H5P and Accessibility Guidelines, while also learning cutting-edge frameworks like Next.js, Vercel, and Tailwind CSS.

I plan to continue honing my skills and gaining hands-on experience in this field, with the goal of becoming a Full Stack Developer.
