About

I'm a penultimate software engineering student at Monash University. I'm interested in all things software engineering - front-end, back-end, cloud, dev-ops and AI/ML. I also do enjoy consulting with clients and coming up with effective and tailored solutions - I find it satisfying and rewarding when you're able to connect with a client and sell a story well. I'm looking for opportunities where I can learn new things in an environment that supports life-long learners.


In my spare time, I like to collect watches (I currently own an Orient Bambino open heart), play fingerstyle guitar, hike in the Victorian outback, gym, consume anything of the sci-fi genre (I recommend the Foundation Apple TV show - best piece of sci-fi media out there), and solve challenging leetcode questions.
