Hi! I am a fourth-year student at the University of Toronto, studying computer science and statistics. I will be graduating in Dec 2021 and am looking for newgrad positions for 2022.

I have previous internship experience at Stripe, Coinbase, Amazon, IBM, and Publicis Sapient, where I have made impact and worked in a breath of areas like: Cloud Computing & Big Data, Payments (Security & Fraud), Data Science, Reliability, and more. I have also gotten the opportunity to learn alongside some of the kindest and smartest people.

I am always eager to learn new things and build relationships. I am constantly looking for new challenges and new ways of solving those challenges. I am eager to make an impact and am very passionate about what I do.
