About
I'm an AI & Data Science student at the Canadian Institute of Technology in Tirana, working at the intersection of interface design and web development. I like taking a project from a blank Figma canvas to working code, recently that meant leading UI/UX for two hackathon teams under a two-day clock, and shipping four small builds during a software development internship covering everything from SQL to mobile.
Outside of coursework, I've volunteered internationally through the European Solidarity Corps, redesigning a radio station's web presence in North Macedonia and running inclusive creative workshops in Tirana. I'm also self-directing a track into cybersecurity on the side.
