I started teaching myself to code at 12, during lockdown. Six years and one move from the UK to Canada later, I'm a first-year computer science student at TMU.
I'm strengthening my TypeScript and Python, and starting to dig into how AI models actually work under the hood - not just calling an API.
I learn best by building, so almost everything on this desktop started as "I wonder if I can make this." I'm trying to ship one finished project a month instead of ten half-finished ones.
I also founded and ran my school's first ever coding club - it didn't exist before I started it.
Project submission for TMU's Technovation 2025, where I became a global quarterfinalist, solo, after a teammate withdrew.
A React app built to support teen girls' mental health and confidence - daily affirmations, a mood tracker, a self-reflection journal, and a spin-for-a-compliment wheel, all wrapped in a calm pastel interface. The kind of project where the UX mattered as much as the code.
View code →Pick a date, see what NASA's telescope saw that day. Built on the Astronomy Picture of the Day API, mostly to practice handling async data and not-so-predictable API responses cleanly. The demo below is live.
View code →"Justice is expensive, silence is cheaper." A Python project built for STEMing UP 2025, exploring where funding meant for justice actually ends up. My favorite project so far, because it started from an idea I cared about - not a tutorial.
View code →An HTML/CSS rebuild of Instagram's front end. One of my earliest projects, kept up because it's a good record of where I started - worth comparing against everything else here.

I'm in my first year at Toronto Metropolitan University, and I learn best by building - so almost everything below started as "I wonder if I can make this."
Right now I'm focused on getting properly comfortable with TypeScript, past the point of copy-pasting types, and on understanding the fundamentals behind AI rather than just calling an API. I'm also trying to ship one finished project a month instead of ten half-finished ones.

Four projects, in the order I'd want you to look at them.

A data-driven project on transparency and accountability - check the repo for the full write-up.
An HTML/CSS rebuild of Instagram's front end. One of my earliest projects, kept up because it's a good record of where I started - worth comparing against everything above it.
Front-end fundamentals: layout, typography, and matching an existing design pixel by pixel.
