Hello everyone! My name is Philmo, and I am the president of Schulich Ignite. My responsibilities include guiding the executive team to ensure our club runs smoothly and achieves its goals, which includes delivering quality coding workshops and experiences! I graduated with an MSc in Computer Science, and I am currently employed at Circle Cardiovascular Imaging as a R&D Software Developer. My passion for teaching has led me to teach again at Schulich Ignite. If there is a person among you who loves to watch Starcraft (both Brood War and SC2), then I will be touched. I’m also into drawing and 3D modeling.

Hi! I’m Jehan, the VP of Communications for Schulich Ignite.

I’m currently in my third year of Electrical Engineering. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, reading, and hiking.

Hello! I’m Rodrigo, the VP of Content Development, and I’m currently studying engineering. I’m passionate about sports, fantasy and sci-fi novels, chess, and especially programming. At Schulich Ignite I aim to do my best to provide students passionate about coding with the tools they need to succeed in this path and create the right environment for them to learn too!

Hello! I’m Mehak and I am the VP Events at Schulich Ignite. I am responsible for organizing the end-of-semester gala to give our mentees a chance to present the projects they worked on.

Outside of school, I love to paint and read anything fantasy and mystery (I absolutely love plot twists and Sherlock Holmes-esque detective stories!).

Bonjour! Je m’appelle Sujesh et j’étudie à l’université de Calgary. Well, I still need to practice. Hello I am Sujesh and I love money so that makes me VP of Finance.

I love technology and am always hungry to learn like a black hole.
