ABOUT ME
Hi. I'm Gaurav, a software developer from Toronto, Ontario. I am currently studying at the University of Toronto, enrolled in the Co-op Computer Science Program. Aiming to collect as much real world experience and knowledge as I can before entering the workforce. I am a fast learner who loves to tackle complex projects and try something new. The process of transforming simple lines of code into fully functional tools and programs is what drives my passion for computer science. To me, the art of computer science is like solving a puzzle, you have to analyze the pieces and find patterns.
