Current Focus

I'm a junior web developer in Montreal, QC, finishing the Web Design Specialist program at Vanier College.

My current focus is backend-oriented development using Python and Django, with a particular interest in building APIs and CRUD-based applications. While backend work is where I'm most comfortable, I'm open to learning across the stack and exploring any opportunity that encourages growth.

I'm actively seeking a winter internship starting early 2026, where I can contribute to real projects, learn from a collaborative team, and gain hands-on experience.

What I'm Working On

  • Deepening my understanding of React through hands-on projects
  • Building portfolio projects that incorporate backend functionality, with an emphasis on APIs and data-driven features
  • Continuously improving my portfolio, which automatically updates using the GitHub API

Selected Projects

  • Portfolio Website: A personal portfolio that dynamically pulls project data from GitHub using the GitHub API.
    More projects coming soon.
