I'm a third-year Software Engineering student at McGill University interested in full-stack development, research software, and building systems that solve real-world problems.
Recently, I have been working with LORIS, an open-source research data platform used in neuroscience and health research. Through this experience, I have been learning how large production systems are structured across the backend, frontend, database, tooling, and deployment workflow.
Languages: Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, SQL, Bash, C
Frontend: React, Vue.js, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap
Backend: PHP, Spring Boot, REST APIs
Databases: MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL
Tools & Platforms: Git, GitHub, VS Code Remote SSH, Postman, Webpack, npm, CI/CD pipelines
Testing & Quality: JUnit, ESLint, PHP linting/static checks
Other Skills: Data Structures & Algorithms, Software Architecture, Database Migrations, Debugging Production Systems
- Open-source research software โ Working with LORIS, a neuroscience and health research data platform.
- Full-stack debugging โ Tracing issues across SQL, PHP backend logic, React frontend components, and build tooling.
- Database-driven features โ Working with SQL patches, schema changes, exported DB files, and frontend data flow.
- Developer tooling โ Improving scripts, debugging CI/static checks, and keeping generated files consistent.
- Pull request workflows โ Reviewing code changes, testing features, writing issues, and understanding real production impact.
- Full-stack web apps โ From responsive frontends to backend APIs and database logic.
- Research software improvements โ Features and fixes that help researchers manage and interact with study data.
- Automation & tooling โ Scripts and workflows that reduce manual work and improve consistency.
- Mobile apps โ Android projects with Firebase integration for real-time features.
Outside of software projects, Iโm grinding in competitive gaming and chasing my dream of becoming a professional player.
