A — Introduction

High school software engineering student, builder of small, thoughtful things.

I'm Gabriel I design and engineer software with a quiet, considered hand.

Currently a Year 11 software engineering student at St Edwards Christian Brothers College on the Central Coast, building out creative web projects, and brainstorming ideas for my upcoming mechatronics project.

B — Profile

On the record

A high schooler who treats software the way other people treat handwriting: practiced, particular, and a little stubborn about the details.

My coding journey began with Scratch Jr, and I immediately fell in love with it. From there, I taught myself Python, learned to debug and fix errors, and eventually started formally studying Software Engineering in 2024. Today, I frequently build full-stack web platforms solo to solve real-world problems.

Beyond web apps, I'm passionate about game development and AI. I've built competitive multiplayer games with WebSockets and trained AI opponents using DeepRL. Currently, I'm exploring mechatronics for my next big project.
