About

I'm a Computer Security student at York University who builds real products instead of waiting for class projects. I got into programming by running a Minecraft server at 15, writing custom Java plugins, managing Linux servers, and keeping it secure at scale.

Right now I'm building Taskoo, an AI-powered study planner for students. I built it with my friend by Firebase auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions for AI calls, deployed on Oracle Cloud with Nginx, and iCal integration so it syncs with any school LMS.

I care about how things actually work under the hood: security, infrastructure, and making software that doesn't get in the user's way. I'm actively looking for internships where I can do meaningful work.
