Hello! I’m Benjamin Liu, a passionate Software Engineering student at Concordia University with a strong foundation in both theoretical knowledge and practical application, evidenced by a solid GPA of 3.76. My academic journey began at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf in Montréal, where I delved into Pure and Applied Sciences, cultivating a deep-rooted interest in technology and innovation.
Technical Skills:
I bring a versatile skill set to the table, including proficiency in C#, Python, Java, Arduino, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, NodeJS, and Git. These skills are complemented by my ability to communicate fluently in French and English, alongside conversational proficiency in Mandarin, allowing me to thrive in diverse environments.
Work Experience:
In 2023, I took on a role with Patrouille Verte ÉcoQuartier Lasalle, where I was instrumental in promoting environmental awareness. My responsibilities ranged from organizing events and delivering presentations to content creation for social media and contributing to website design.
Achievements:
My dedication to applying theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios led me to win the Best Integration Project at CEGEP in 2023. This project involved the design and development of a miniature firetruck, complete with an algorithm for autonomous navigation and flame extinguishment. Additionally, my innovative approach to problem-solving earned our team 2nd place in the McGill RoboHacks 2024, where we developed a sustainable sea cleaning robot prototype.
Interests:
Outside the realm of software engineering, I enjoy cycling, running, and indulging in music. My musical talents are evidenced by achieving First Class Honours in RCM Level 8 Music Theory and Honours in RCM Level 8 Violin.
