<h2 class="section-title">About Me</h2>
<div style="max-width: 66ch; margin-bottom: 2.5rem;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 1.25rem;">
I'm a second-year CS student who's equally comfortable writing consensus-layer protocol code in Rust,
a memory allocator in C, or automated test coverage for a live application. I pick up new tools quickly
and care about understanding <em>why</em> something works, not just that it does.
</p>
<p>
Outside coursework I work on Ethereum's protocol stack, contribute to the local tech community through
<strong>NeurAlbertaTech</strong>, and take on personal projects that push me into unfamiliar territory.

<div class="about-grid">
<div class="about-card">
<h4>[Community]</h4>
<p>Volunteer at <strong>NeurAlbertaTech (natHACKS)</strong>, supporting hackathon logistics, participant coordination, and on-campus outreach for the Alberta tech ecosystem.</p>

<div class="about-card">
<h4>[Athletics]</h4>
<p>Regular at the <strong>UABC badminton courts</strong> and the gym. High-intensity sport is how I reset. It keeps problem-solving sharp and perspective wide.</p>

<div class="about-card">
<h4>[Exploration]</h4>
<p>Avid hiker; most recently summited <strong>Mount Sulphur</strong>. Getting above the treeline has a way of making engineering problems feel appropriately small.</p>

<h4>[Currently Reading]</h4>
<p>Working through cryptographic primitives in Ethereum's protocol stack and exploring systems programming patterns in <strong>Rust</strong>.</p>
