I'm a Software Engineering student at École de technologie supérieure (ETS) in Montreal with a strong drive for building polished, user-focused digital experiences. My journey started with a DEC in Computer Science & Mathematics, and I haven't stopped exploring since.
I'm deeply passionate about three worlds that fuel my creativity: web development, where I craft modern interfaces with frameworks like Angular and React; game development, where I bring ideas to life with Unity and C#; and music, which keeps me inspired. Additionally, I have a deep passion for teaching, which I channel as a Laboratory Instructor at ETS, helping students master complex software testing and engineering concepts.
Trilingual in Spanish, French and English, I thrive in diverse, collaborative environments and love turning complex problems into elegant solutions.
