Student @ UofC

👋 Hi, I'm

Sahil Bacchus

I’m a Software Engineering student with experience in machine learning, full-stack development, and embedded systems.

I enjoy building systems across the stack, from low-level programming and embedded systems to modern web applications and distributed services.

I’m always exploring new technologies and working on projects that turn ideas into practical tools.
