Meet Alex, a third-year Physics and Math double major at the University of Waterloo with a knack for coding. Growing up in a family of engineers, they were always curious about the laws of the universe, but it was a high school programming elective that truly sparked their passion for software engineering. Now, they enjoy making connections between theory and application, often joking with friends about the natural progression from physics to software development, and dreaming of a career where they can solve complex problems in tech.
