Hi, I'm Oliver.
I started coding at 12, writing Small Basic code to control Lego robots. Most of what I build still starts the same way: something I actually need, not a hypothetical user's problem. I'm good at taking a project from a rough idea to a working spec, the functional side, not colors and layouts, but figuring out what something needs to do and building it that way.
I am currently completing my senior computer science coursework at McGill University. Throughout my time here, I have naturally gravitated toward leadership roles, frequently serving as the team lead for our intensive group software projects.
Outside of school and code, I focus my time on a few specific pursuits:
Martial Arts: I serve as the President of McGill's Mixed Martial Arts club. Hiring me essentially means you get built-in physical security for the office alongside my code.
Fitness: I am a disciplined gym goer and love nerding out about the gym and hyper-optimizing my routine.
Cooking: I love experimenting in the kitchen and cooking for friends and family, which inspired my current side project: a smart cooking assistant application.
I enjoy the intersection of discipline, technology, and real-world utility. Let's build something cool.
