Meet Alex, a curious second-year Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo with a knack for exploring unconventional pathways in tech. Having been drawn to coding from a young age, Alex initially planned to pursue the co-op program but opted to study non-co-op after discovering a passion for open-source projects and personal coding ventures. They're always eager to share insights and learn about new opportunities on campus, while occasionally feeling out of the loop on program changes.
