About

I broke my mom's computer in grade 1 and spent the next two decades trying to understand how the thing actually works. That curiosity took me from hunting DLL files on a Nokia with 2G internet to launching a social media app with 400K+ downloads that funded my Master's in Canada. These days I build data pipelines, AI agents, and databases from scratch — still chasing the same feeling I got when I first pressed F1 on that boot screen.
