Hello, my name is David...

David Kusimo
I'm a Computer Science student at Carleton University, excited to dive into the world of technology and software development. With a strong interest in coding, problem-solving, and programming languages, I have built a solid foundation in areas like Python, Java, and algorithms. I find myself to have critical thinking and creative skills due to the various mathematics and computer science competitions I have taken part in, as well as the different clubs and organizations I have made and helped in running. I'm eager to explore fields like web development, AI, and cybersecurity. I'm passionate about growing my skills through hands-on projects, collaborating with others, and staying updated on the latest tech trends. I am currently working on new projects and I can't wait to see how they pan out. Looking forward to connecting with fellow students, professionals, and mentors as I continue my path toward a career in technology!
