About me

My first experience with coding was through a mobile storytelling app that allowed users to create their own visual and interactive story through code. It enabled me to discover a long-lasting curiosity and passion for coding through which I could channel my creativity and show others my work. Starting the course at GA to fast track my learning helped prove that I can do something I love for a career and do it well. I’ve found that my main motivators are two things in equal balance: knowing my work is up to par with my own standards and with the standards of those who consume it. I am looking to work as a developer in an environment that allows me to create meaningful work, take risks to stimulate growth and learning, and encourages teamwork.

Netflix-inspired travel destination app. Allows users to browse for different travel destinations around the world & add them to 'My List' just like in Netflix. Also has an Instagram-inspired component where users have a profile page, can add pictures of their travels and like/comment on each other's posts. I focused on making the Navbar and Explore Page components.

Philosophy BAThe University of Liverpool
Aug 2017 - Jun 2020Liverpool, United Kingdom
Modules covering topics such as ethics, politics, language, logic, conflict, video games, justice, existence, consciousness, religion, metaphysics etc. This degree helped build my problem-solving, analytical, communication and public-speaking skills. My favourite modules were Chinese & Indian Philosophy, and Philosophy of Play & the Virtual where I had a chance to make a short analytical video focused on the gamification and generation of empathy in the RPG Witcher 3. For my final year, I wrote a 10,000-word dissertation titled "Are religion and human rights compatible?"
