About Me

I am currently a 4A Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo.

I love coding and developing software. Some of my best technical skills include

C/C++
Angular
JavaScript / TypeScript

Outside of academics and coding, I like to spend time on many of my hobbies. I love drawing (and anything arts and crafts related), games, and playing lots of badminton.

I used to play badminton competitively and I'm currently a member of Waterloo's varsity badminton team.
