I never want to miss opportunities to learn. It’s what I believe makes programming such a great fit for me. I love that there is always room to grow. When I begin a new project, whether it be an internship, online boot camp session, or hackathon, I can be confident that I will have become a better computing student as a result. My first ever project began when I happened to find a video tutorial to code a simple platformer game. That feeling of accomplishment! Sure, it was a tiny thing, but nonetheless, I had done it and needed to find more. And find more I did. - Two summer high school internships at the University of Alberta taught me Java and C++ application development, native programming (combining Java code with C++), and GitHub version control.- Application to the AIS Technolabs Game Development Scholarship taught me Android app development and furthered my experience with GDscript, a language that shares syntax with Python. - The Ludum Dare 47 game jam gave me experience in collaborative development, including version control and project planning. - Through select sessions in the University of Alberta Spring Research Computing Bootcamp, I’ve been introduced to parallel programming and 2D/3D plotting with Python’s Dask, Matplotlib, and Plotly, as well as Cloud computing using Arbutus and Git Bash. And recently, I applied to an executive position at the University of Alberta Financial Literacy Club. I saw the advertisement just hours before the deadline! But as always, I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity, especially at a leading position.To me, a potential position is a new opportunity. It is the perfect place to challenge and push myself to my limits. At any new job, I am fully expecting to, and would prefer to, pick up a variety of skills in the process. Jobs allow me to self-teach or be taught outside my comfort zone. And I love the workplace environment, which is both informative and a place to collaborate alongside teammates. Specialties: Java, C++, Python (Numpy, Pandas)Other Experience: GitHub, Git Bash, Python (Matplotlib, Plotly, Dask), JNI (Java/C++)
