About Me

Hi, I'm Christian Arbelaez, a Full-stack Software Developer at the University of Alberta Students' Union with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in Business from the University of Alberta.

My journey in technology began early, from building custom PCs in high school to developing enterprise-level web applications today. I combine my technical expertise with a strong business acumen, which I developed through both my academic background and years of personal investment experience.

As a developer, I thrive on continuous learning and problem-solving. Whether it's mastering a new technology stack or optimizing existing systems, I approach each challenge methodically - first through thorough research and understanding, then through practical application and refinement.

Beyond coding, I'm passionate about classical films, ancient history, and practical philosophy. I maintain this website as a platform to showcase both my professional work and personal interests, offering a comprehensive view of my technical capabilities and creative pursuits.
