Hobbies
Programming
Since 2015
I learned programming by myself on my free time when I was in my 4th year in secondary school. I developed such a huge interest for technology in my last 2 years of high school that I decided to make it my field of study. To this day, I still program on my free time by doing projects and by learning programming languages that pique my interest.
- Contribute to Open Source projects (GitHub and GitLab)
- Compete in programming challenges (Halite II and Halite III)
Rubik’s Cube
2012 to 2015
I started solving 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube when I was 12 and started competing in 2013 in Montréal. Afterwards, I learned how to solve other types of similar puzzles and did 3 more competitions where I would often reach the finals. I stopped competing, but I still solve puzzles every so often.
