Extra info
During my time studying Mechanical Engineering, I was fortunate to receive the Dean's Commendation for both semesters and achieved a strong academic standing within the Engineering faculty. This led to an invitation to join my university's student exchange program, offering the chance to study at one of 20 universities globally. Although I appreciated the opportunity, I chose to follow my growing interest in software development, eventually pursuing studies in that field through various renowned tech organisations.
