Alex Dart
I'm a Business and Computer Science (BUCS) student at the University of British Columbia, graduating in May 2026.
I'm passionate about building at the intersection of technology, data, and strategy - from developing web applications and automation tools to exploring how AI can streamline business operations and decision-making.
My interests span software engineering, product design, machine learning, and business strategy, and I'm always looking for opportunities to learn, create, and collaborate on impactful projects.
