About

Student at the University of Auckland studying Engineering. I was introduced to programming at 12 years old in early 2018. Starting with Python, my projects started stacking up and I realised I needed new languages for different tasks. Then came HTML/CSS and JavaScript/Typescript for web development. Java and Android because I wanted to create a mobile game, and C++, C#, C along the way.

My most proficient languages include;
JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, HTML/CSS.

Languages that I will need more work on include;
C++, Matlab, Flutter, C#, C.

Some packages that I like using are;
React, Tailwind, MUI, OpenAI, etc.

And some tools that I'm experienced with are;
MongoDB Atlas/Compass, Heroku, Android Studio, etc.

I'm always on the look-out for new market opportunies for personal projects than can hone my skills and teach me new ones. And currently my main project is a cross-platform flutter app that encourages users to stay on task, and increase productivity.
