About Me

Hello World! I was born in Toronto, Canada and currently live in Boston, MA in the United States. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Waterloo and initially learned Swift from Udacity's iOS Developer Nanodegree Program. I am always learning and strengthening my skills as a developer and programming in different languages such as C, Python, and JavaScript. I look forward to bringing my passion for technology to a full-time position as an iOS Developer and work on meaningful projects with a motivated team.
