Hi everyone! 👋

My name is Meeral, and I’m a Software Engineer based in Toronto, Canada. I’ve been in the industry for about 6 years and graduated from University of Toronto in 2018. I’m a new mom (as of 2024) and in my free time I love to game, read, and travel! I’ve also recently started a Youtube channel to share my learnings and journey, so check that out!

My Youtube Channel

As I mentioned above, I also have a Youtube channel! Here is my latest video - hope you enjoy and consider subscribing!

Here are some things I LOVE:

  • Video Games

    I grew up playing video games with my friends, and to this day, it’s still my favourite way to unwind!

    Here are some games I’ve been playing:

    League of legends

    World of Warcraft

    Hogwarts Legacy

    Horizon Zero Forbidden West

  • Dungeons and Dragons/Board Games

    A few years ago I was introduced to the wonderful world of Dungeons and Dragons! Since then, I’ve absolutely loved playing, and even running some of my own games when I get the chance. I also love the fantasy genre, so this is a great way to be able to live in this world.

    I also love board-game nights! From party games like Taboo to deception-style games like Avalon, all of them are games I can get on board with and enjoy.

  • Reading

    I think reading is one of the best ways to gain knowledge, understand other perspectives, or even escape into another world for a little while. Over the pandemic, I started reading (and listening) to a lot more books on different topics. If anyone has any great book recommendations (Fantasy is probably my go-to, as you can probably tell), please do share!

    Here are some of the books I’ve read recently:

    City of Brass Trilogy

    A Court of Thorns and Roses Saga

    Four Hour work week

    Rich Dad, Poor Dad

    Fourth Wing series

  • Vacations/Travelling

    While I haven’t travelled too much in the last few years, I absolutely love seeing new places! When I was younger, I was fortunate enough to visit a variety of places all over the world, and the sights and cultures have always been amazing to experience.

    Next on my bucket-list is Japan, but in the mean time, here are a few of the places I’ve visited:

    Dubai (I also grew up here)

    Italy

    Switzerland

    Thailand

    South Africa

    Australia

    New Zealand

    Alaska

    Banff
