About Me

Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours)

Hey!

My name is Simon. I am a third-year Bachelor of Software Engineering student at Adelaide University, living in Adelaide and really enjoying learning new things.

I am currently working as a PASS Leader, tutoring and helping other peers/students in their first and second year of computer science or software development courses. Some major courses that I am leading include Problem Solving and Programming with Python, and Data Driven Web Technology with SQL, C#, and ASP.Net.

I also interned at InnovateAI, a company focused on integrating artificial intelligence and automation systems into business administration to improve workflows and performance. My main role involved using n8n automation to create workflows, integrating with PostgreSQL and Docker for easier management and integration.

I'm open to try anything new, fun, and exciting. I love connecting with more people.
