About

Building at the intersection of finance and technology.

Hi! I am Aryan, a first-year Computing and Financial Management student at the University of Waterloo (Co-op). On my free time, I enjoy building projects at the intersection of finance and technology.

My interest in FinTech started early โ€” introduced to HTML and CSS in middle school, I discovered my passion for coding. As my skills grew, I began exploring finance, which naturally led me into FinTech.

Currently focused on learning new technologies and building data-driven tools. When not coding or studying, you can find me watching basketball or baseball!
