Story

I've always been drawn to music regardless of the professional path chosen. It wasn't just listening or identifying to particular genres; I was captivated by sound.

At an early age, I learned to compose and produce music. The best way to describe my creative process stems from writing melodies, sequencing, and mixing individual instruments to create songs. In 2013, I released my first two records under the CONCEPT (CAN) alias: "What's Deep" on Black Swan Recordings and "That Feeling" on Shinshy Records.

I complimented my artistic venture with a business degree from John Molson School of Business (Concordia). Once I graduated, I had a decision to make, either pursue a master's degree in business studies or, go down an entirely different and technical path. I chose the latter and moved to Ottawa to pursue an engineering degree.

Why software engineering? Writing code is a lot like art to me. It's an iterative, creative process, and in my head, it's not much different from programming music: patterns, layers, sequences; abstraction is the same in both worlds!

TL;DR In 2019, I will be graduating as a software engineer from the University of Ottawa. I would describe myself as a full-time learner and solution-oriented technology enthusiast passionate about building creative products that solve complex problems.
