Bachelor of Software EngineeringClass of 2019 McMaster University, Hamilton ON.
Learning the software development life cycle
Currently enrolled in a degree completion program which focuses on the design and maintenance of software
Learning advanced algorithm design
Relevant Projects
Worked effectively with colleagues in order to design and implement a basic computer-based shopping interface. This required the task to split into modules which were delegated to individuals, requiring good communication in order to allow the modules to work in unison when put together.
Worked effectively with a team of 3 in order to design, model and prototype a gear train designed to step down a high-speed motor in order to drive a Disc-Reader. This allowed for strong problem-solving skills as well as communication skill in order to get the gear train to fit the precise specifications.

Competitions
ACM - International Collegiate Programming ContestOctober 2016 University of Windsor, Windsor ON.
Regionals Competition, after our team placed third at McMaster University we were invited to the regionals competition
Algorithm Design and implementation contest, 10 complex algorithm based word problems were given, the goal was to create an algorithm to solve the problem and get the correct output solving as many as possible in a 5-hour span.
Placed 68th in the region out of 130 teams.
Experience
The competition taught me, that pseudo-code may be good for a general implementation, one should also account for small language specific quirks. Such as dealing with overflow in Python3 vs Java.
This experience showed me that a programmer can overlook a minor bug and the importance of having a once overdone before a release. Having re-coded and submitted 2 of the incorrect submissions, made by the team due to a simple aliasing issue.
Communitech - Code To winNovember 2015 Communitech Hub, Kitchener ON.
Finalist, after placing in the top 50 nation wide.
Algorithm Design and implementation contest, 5 complex algorithm based word problems were given, the goal was to create an algorithm to solve the problem and get the correct output.
McMaster University placed 3rd in the region
Experience
The code to win contest humbled me and taught me that I have a long way to go, that not every problem can be solved in my head.
This experience taught me of the importance of time management. That when you are on a deadline sometimes it is better to use algorithms that are tried and true instead of creating from scratch.
