Samar Khajuria
E-learning Technician
I’m Samar, a fourth-year Computing Science student at Thompson Rivers University with a strong focus on full stack development, machine learning, and automation. My journey into tech began with a deep curiosity about how complex systems work, which quickly evolved into a passion for building real-world solutions through code.
Over the years, I’ve developed a solid foundation in both front-end and back-end development, while actively exploring intelligent systems and automation tools that can optimize workflows and solve real challenges. I’m a fast learner who thrives on tackling new problems, staying updated with emerging technologies, and continuously improving my skills.
My goal is to grow into a proficient software developer capable of delivering impactful, scalable, and user-centric solutions in the tech industry.
