As an individual with a strong desire to pursue a career in software engineering, I bring a unique perspective to the field. Having previously studied architecture at the University of Toronto, I have gained a profound understanding of design principles that I employ to create visually appealing user interfaces. Additionally, I have developed excellent project management skills that enable me to balance both front and back-end development. My background in architecture and my passion for technology have motivated me to pursue a career in software engineering, where I can apply my analytical and creative skills to design and develop innovative software solutions.

MMB PLANNING

Web Developer

The creation of the MMB Planning website was driven by a profound sense of purpose, particularly due to its association with a startup architecture firm. As the sole developer and designer, I undertook the task of not only constructing the website but also crafting the logo and front-end design elements. This website not only elevates the startup's online presence but also provides a seamless avenue for potential clients to explore their portfolio and expertise. In essence, it serves as a powerful tool to establish and promote the firm's presence in the architectural field.
