Experienced Software Developer based in Canada with technical expertise and proven track record in Backend Development, cloud services, and Business Intelligence. With the bigger picture in mind, I have migrated existing software infrastructure to the cloud for a leading telecommunications company on contract, developed a highly responsive pre-Product Market Fit web application which raised pre-seed funding, and won the award for Best Pitch in Atlantic Canada in 2023 as part of Dal Innovates, CollideCamp. I was selected as a Founder by Microsoft into the Microsoft Startup Founders Hub 2022. I achieved all of the above while still being an international student and simultaneously maintaining grades above 95% in every semester. I will be graduating in May 2024.
