About me

Summary

Hi, I'm Daniel.

I push pixels for fun, and I’m trying to make a living from it too.

I’ve been developing software for at least 8 years, creating digital designs for 12 years, and fiddling with computers for longer than I can remember.

As a designer who codes, I try to bridge the gap between form and function. With a deep understanding of design principles, usability, and software architecture, I strive to create interfaces that are both technologically feasible and user-focused.

Education

In June 2024, I graduated from the University of Toronto, where I earned my BSc.

I specialized in Computer Science with a focus in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and minored in Psychology. I was recognized as a President’s Scholar of Excellence, and graduated with High Distinction.

During my four years of education, I collaborated with professors to develop new course content, assisted with research in the DGP Lab, and volunteered for the VPSEM Student Advisory Group.
