Meet Jamie, a Computer Science student known for their quirky sense of humor and love for indie games. Growing up in a small town, Jamie always felt out of place among their peers, often bonding more with the characters in video games than with people. Now at the University of Waterloo, they’re passionate about coding not just for corporate gain, but to create meaningful experiences and maintain their individuality in a world that often leans toward corporate conformity. Jamie frequently challenges norms in their tight-knit friend group, encouraging fellow students to embrace their unique interests, be it knitting, photography, or environmental activism, rather than just chasing tech industry trends.
