Hi! I'm Angela

software engineering student

A quick intro

Hey! My name is Angela and I'm an incoming 4th year Software Engineering student at McMaster University. I discovered my passion in tech after coding a virtual robot arm to pick up some virtual boxes in my first-year engineering design course, and ever since then fell in love with the logic, problem-solving, and creativity that comes with programming.


Most of my previous experiences have been in fullstack web and app development, and I'm particularly interested on backend. I enjoy learning about algorithms that blow my mind, and I'm a pretty big fan of object-oriented programming, design patterns and software/system architecture.


Outside of work, I enjoy digital art, rock climbing, weightlifting, and exploring different worlds and stories through gaming!
