About Me

Hi, I'm Arvin!

I am a 2nd year Queen’s Computing student specializing in Software Design, with a Certificate in Business from the Smith School of Business. I enjoy working at the intersection of technical depth and real-world impact,whether that’s analyzing transit records, building RAG-powered healthcare tools, or translating sports metrics into data-driven insights.

Beyond code, I love travelling and sports. I’ve played competitive soccer all my life and earned my 2nd degree black belt as a karate instructor, experiences that taught me resilience, communication, and adaptability.
