About Me

IT Programming student, builder, and continuous learner

Kael Payette

I'm an IT Programming student at NSCC (Nova Scotia Community College), graduating in June 2026. I build software projects across web apps, mobile development, and game development, with a focus on clean structure and continuous improvement.

I care about doing things properly: clear documentation, honest testing, good communication, and code that someone else can understand. I want to ship things that work and keep getting better at it.

Outside of class and personal projects, I previously worked at Walmart in a fast-paced retail environment that sharpened my ability to stay organized, prioritise tasks, and work effectively with a team under pressure.
