Radu Schirliu

Software Engineering Student at University of Calgary

Software Engineering Intern at Garmin

I began programming around the age of 13 and have loved everything computer-related ever since. I started out with modding games like Minecraft & Garry’s Mod, and I am now pursuing a career in Software Engineering!

I’m incredibly passionate about learning - spending the majority of my free time doing hackathons or working on side projects to help diversify my skills (with a current focus on learning Go and making an NES emulator). I have also recently discovered my love for teaching through volunteering with high school students to help them learn to code.

I am always open to pursuing new opportunities and projects! Feel free to connect or reach out for a coffee chat - I also love meeting new people :)
