I'm Gabriel Lucas. I live in Calgary, and I've found my purpose.

My journey into the world of programming began with a fascination for video games. Intrigued by their mechanics, I started to reverse engineering games to add the features I desired. This hands-on experience ignited my curiosity and set me on a path of self-discovery.

I owe a debt of gratitude to my entrepreneurial brother, whose demand for e-commerce websites kickstarted my learning journey. Determined to meet his needs, I immersed myself in the world of web development, teaching myself the necessary skills to create functional and user-friendly online platforms.

Throughout high school, I devoted myself to honing my craft. Balancing rigorous coursework and real-world work experience, I pulled 16-hour workdays to attend classes and gain practical knowledge. Thankfully, the work experience class provided credits, allowing me to pursue my passion without compromising my education.

Today, while I am proud to work as a software engineer for an EdTech company and engage in exciting FinTech and AI projects, my true purpose lies in supporting and investing in people. I find immense fulfillment in coming alongside individuals facing challenges, helping them grow, and working through problems. Witnessing their progress and triumphs is the reward that makes every hardship worthwhile.

So, let's embark on this journey together. Beyond technology, let's focus on building connections, fostering growth, and making a positive impact. Together, we can create a world where compassion, resilience, and personal development thrive.
