I’m currently working at Blaise Transit, a Montreal startup, as software lead. I’m a student at Concordia University graduating in 2021. I've been actively involved in student life.
As a kid, I always said that I wanted to be an inventor. Nowadays, I use software to build products that people love.
I’m interested in startups, teaching and urban mobility. To de-stress, I like to play tennis, cycle and go camping. 🎾 🚲 🏕️
