bit about me:
A versatile software engineer originally from Ottawa, Canada.
While my educational focus was on game development, I've since worked professionally on embedded systems and cloud applications.
I enjoy building hobby projects with rust, go, and web technologies. I have yet to spark any brilliant ideas but I'm always learning.
Looking forward, I have a passion to use my skills to make a positive impact in the environment and trasportation industries, so if you have an opportunity up that alley, don't hesitate to reach out!
