About me

My passion for technology began when I first discovered programming at age 10. The challenge and creativity I experienced creating the simple game lit a spark that inspired me to pursue information technology in high school and now into university. I want to use my passion for programming to contribute towards the development of accessible and sustainable energy. Beyond this, I want to use technology to role model and push for sustainability in the commercial tech industry striking a better balance between the planned obsolescence of hardware and minimising e-waste. Outside of technology, I enjoy dance (specifically ballet), reading and listening to music.
"I’m excited to continue learning and growing as I explore the expansive and ever-evolving technology industry."
