I'm Darren, a recently graduated full-stack software engineer that loves to build things.
Let's talk! [email protected]
Background
I'm a recent graduate from the University of Alberta with a B.Sc. in Computer Science. During that time, I had the pleasure of experiencing an 8 month internship with Farmlink Marketing Solutions, with whom I contributed as a Junior Software Developer for another 8 months after.
As a software engineer, I've always enjoyed being hands on and building things, from attemping LeetCode problems, working on personal projects, to tinkering with PC parts.
Away from my computer, I'm probably hiking in Banff, paddle boarding down the Elbow river, or taking naps with my cat, Kimchi.
