My favourite experience in the Master of Software Engineering program has been the opportunity to collaborate with my classmates on a high-performance computing system called Spartan, delivering a genetic analysis tool for clients. The course has provided me with a supportive environment to develop my problem-solving and teamwork skills, which I know will be valuable in my future career. I appreciate the guidance and expertise of the faculty and the chance to apply what I've learned to real-world problems.
