Education

McGill University, Montreal, QC

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Expected Graduation: May 2026

GPA: 3.8/4.0

Technical Skills

Python Java C JavaScript React Node.js HTML/CSS Git AWS Docker Data Structures Algorithms Machine Learning

Coding Projects

Search Engine

Developed a web search engine that simulates the internet using XML files as websites, scraping and using that data to rank the pages. Used vanilla Java and applied data structure and algorithm concepts such as graphs, mergesort, and scraping.

Machine Learning Image Classifier
