About

I have a BSc in Computer Science from Ontario Tech University and hands-on experience building secure web applications. I'm most at home on the server side, where I've spent years designing APIs, managing data flow, and thinking critically about how systems can be exploited and hardened.

Currently deepening that security focus through a post-graduate certificate in Cybersecurity at Durham College, applying concepts like OAuth, XSS mitigation, and network analysis directly to the projects I build.

When I'm not writing code, I go on walks, practice photography, and play video games.
