Software Engineering Student

I’m a software engineering student at UNSW, and I’ve enjoyed building things for as long as I can remember. What started as experimenting with creative projects gradually turned into an interest in how things actually work under the hood.

That curiosity led me to software engineering, where I became more interested in how systems are structured, how data flows through them, and how small design decisions affect reliability and scale. I enjoy working on projects that force me to think carefully, debug deeply, and understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface.

What I focus on:

Designing and building backend services
Full-stack projects with clear data flow
Learning how systems behave under real constraints

Work & Extracurriculars

My Experience in Software Engineering

Through industry consulting, university roles, and independent initiatives, I’ve applied software engineering skills to real-world problems while working across technical, educational, and client-facing contexts.
