A little about me.
I'm a first-year Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo with an interest in software development, cybersecurity, and problem solving.
I enjoy learning by building things, from Java applications and web projects to security-focused tools and hackathon projects. I'm especially interested in understanding how systems work and turning ideas into something people can actually use.
